Ahh... Fall's Awesome!
Ahh, Fall! The leaves are crunchy and the air is cool... my favorite time of year, hands down! Spent a long weekend doing a lot of end of quarter grading, but even that is not without its perks. Lit the chimera fireplace on the deck, poured myself a glass of our Norton, and took in a bit of fresh air while I read my students' work.
Also, had to add this photo of the "last rose of summer" - Kate's rose bush, planted several years ago, decided to kick out 2 more gorgeous blooms just before we get our first frost. They were worth saving, at least so we can remember them when the snow blankets the garden. Frost is due to arrive this Friday.
Tonight, the Cardinals clinched the division title by beating the San Diego Padres at Busch Stadium. Next they take on the New York Mets. If they get past them, it's on to the Series where they could meet the Detroit Tigers who toppled the New York Yankees and are going for their league championship as well! It would make for an exciting fall, wouldn't it?!
