The weather has been weird. Here in Nashvegas we have been running about 20 degrees above the average. The leaves don't seem to know that it's time to come off the trees, and I don't blame them.

I can eat my soup without sweating, think about having a cup of hot tea in the evenings, and put some cider on to simmer and not feel in the least bit ridiculous. It is, after all, fall, and despite my love for the warmth of the sun, it remains one of my favorite seasons.

I love Anne. I remember reading those books for the first time in middle school and reading the last book so slowly because I was sad I wouldn't get to spend any more time with Anne. When I re-read the first book a few years ago, it was like having lunch with an old friend.
