Brrrr. It seems like fall has finally arrived in NC. Something about the misty humidity being just right, the low dark-grey clouds and the shorter days tell me that winter is on its way too. The NC mountains even got snow this morning. Although I will tire of winter quickly, this weather makes me excited for fires in our fireplace, red wine, cozy sweaters and reading on the couch under a pile of blankets. (I like to keep my house really chilly, but pile on the layers – it makes for the sweetest sleep.)
Tonight I am babysitting (curse the life of a teacher and a grad student who are married and permanently broke), but tomorrow I’m getting together with friends for pumpkin carving, wine and lots of talk. Its the carrot on the stick for me. What are your plans for the weekend?
