It's not quite fall, but. . .

I have always loved jeans and jacket weather. Even as a kid, I felt most comfortable, most normal, most like "me" when I could wear pants and a jacket and feel like I was the perfect temperature. Then there's the crisp morning air, cooling and waking the body and mind for the day. Warm days - but not hot, bright blue and sunny skies, mosquitos are gone, loads of fresh veggies to consume, geese starting their flight south. The short fall season is as close to perfect as any time of year could be.

Today I realized it is fall. Not because of any of those listed above, although I am in my fall clothing - dark pants and a jacket over my sleeveless sweater. No, today it is fall because, as of today, Starbucks has brought back the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

You should try one. It tastes like all of my favourite things.
