We have to wait another 2 1/2 months before it gets "human" around here...meanwhile, the couscous, hummous, lite sour cream/yams in the microwave, artichoke hearsts and veggies are a-steamin', and we're looking forward to yet ANOTHER bland, "why-am-I-eating-this" Atkins "meal".

Dennis - and here I thought you were going to say you were either A. xmas shopping or B. decorating for xmas!
I think of Christmas when I hear this phrase!!!
But like you I love Autumn. Here in the Midwest it's been very cool for mid-August. Very strange. It's starting to feel like Fall b/c it's gone on for so long!

ROFLMAO Ed...reminds me of the commercial for "Staples Office Products"....shows a father running, dancing around with store with his kids in tow, kids are frowning, while in the background the Christmas tune plays "It's the Most Wonderful time of the year!"
Bill....I was on the Atkins diet for 2 months too, I "KNOW" what you mean, it DOES get OLD!

Darn, Bill - I'd of, at the least, asked for a slice of tofu,
marinated in soy sauce, and, FRIED in the skillet!

HEY NOW!!! You gotta make fun of the students don't ya.

But yea it's getting closer, down to 11 days before school begins for me, my senior year. But, to get back on subject it is definatly feeling like fall up here. I was out camping last night, and if you weren't within range of that fire, you were nearly freezing!!! Personally, I don't know if I like that, haha, I kinda miss the hot August days myself.

I love those commercials from Staples Dennis!
I can smell those peppers all the way here in NJ!
We have this HUGE spider web over the one side of our garage door. We normally don't see these being created until at least September. I wonder what this means....

I'm glad my high school doesn't have a dress code. That would suck, haha. But, that's a whole different topic, I still got 9 more days til school begins
