I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico with my husband, daughter and two dogs (and whichever mice are currently living under the house). I like to spend time with my daughter, knit, bike, run, and tear my house apart, but not all at once.
I've never been a summer person. I far prefer the other three seasons, and this year I was done with summer after the 4th of July. Now I'm really done with summer, since the monsoons are slowing and it's just plain hot again. I like fall, with its routine, the pretty colors, the crisp air in the mornings, the festivals and events I can look forward to (even if I don't go), like Zozobra, and the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, and of course Halloween, and I've enjoyed going to Ginnie's preschool's Fall Fiesta, too. This is our third and final year with the preschool, and also the first year we don't have to volunteer to run it, since we've already fulfilled our volunteer hours. Neat!
So bring on fall! My pumpkins are not going to be ready in time for Halloween though, thanks to the hailstorm. Oh well.
