It's 6 a.m. and I just carried some trash outside. It's really chilly, but after all, it's October. I've said it before, I love fall. Despite all the leaves falling and real chilly mornings I enjoy fall. The leaves are changing colors and are so pretty. I even feel better. So have a happy fall and enjoy all of God's beauty. ƒG.B. and I had dinner in Thomson Sunday. It's good to go out sometimes.
