After an extended flirtation with unusually warm weather, the seasons have well and truly turned. Fall has arrived, and with it, bright blue days and brilliant colors, crisp air and the urge to Get Outside before the snows come.
This is my way of saying that I’m going to be otherwise occupied for the next few days enjoying the weather. I hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy the season too.
In the meantime, I leave you with quotes and pretty pictures!

I’m interpreting this in the best possible light, of course. I mean, I can be a bit of a procrastinator, but my goal is not to be the best procrastinator I possibly can. I try to choose my targets wisely!
