I saw this lone branch on a bush in our backyard today. The red leaves seem to be fully embracing fall. The other branches are still bright green and must have missed the memo.
Fall is like this though, with the weather each day trying to decide if we are closer to summer or closer to winter. This morning started out as a cold and dreary day. The sort of day that demands a sweatpants, a big quilt, hot chocolate, a rip roaring fire, a good book, candles and a cat on your lap. (Did I partake in any of those things? No. But I did make puppy chow which felt cozy and nurturing. I think anything with peanut butter and chocolate is nurturing.)
But now the sun is out, the weather feels warmer and these green leaves give me hope that we've still got some warm weather in us before winter hits.

I read this post and it gives me hope, as it was 100 degrees in Memphis today. Can you send some fall our way? Please?
Becca,
We had Puppy Chow at Girl Scout camp this weekend. Ever go to Singing Hills? I've never even made it through the night sleeping outside in the backyard, so this was a BIG adventure, for sure. We even had the caramel-and-saltine treat! Are you craving it now? :)
