Fall Is Just Around the Corner

I do realize that it's only September.  And September in Texas at that!  But September marks the beginning of Fall, even if it's still warm outside.  Fall is right around the corner.  Or at least in my mind it is.

With Fall comes all sorts of wonderful things.  It means a visit to the local pumpkin patch, like the one pictured above.  Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls has a Fall Festival on weekends starting the last weekend of September through mid-November. 

Fall also means cool, crisp nights where you need a jacket.  It's hot chocolate.  It's football games - on Friday nights and on Saturdays.  The leaves start to change into those glorious reds and oranges.  You can feel it too, can't you?
