Must have jinxed the weather with my gloating because it was only 43 degrees this morning. It was overcast and as I drove into town I could see mist rising from the hills ahead forming into thin clouds that blended with the gray sky. But with the fall colors beginning to spread it was a gentle morning and very easy on the eyes. I always loved spring and fall in Michigan when I lived there. The brisk, clean air, the taste of change. Winter here can seem gloomy to some. I prefer to think of it as calm and gentle. Of course, weeks from now, I may be singing a very different tune as the overcast skies take their toll on my spirits.

Don't have to shovel it or sweat in it. While others had snow today, I was out deadheading dahlias and thinking about picking more tomatoes.

You can't buy quality of life like this!
