With the cooler temperatures I've been breaking out the long sleeves and jackets. Ahhhh! I love this time of year. It's my favorite season. I didn't used to think so. I always felt like I had to love summer, because we didn't have school. I was glad for that, let me tell you, but I always felt like I was fibbing when I would say that summer was my favorite season. It was so blasted hot in South Carolina in the summer without AC that I would long for fall--for a time when I could where a sweater or a jacket. I'll grant you that 50-75 doesn't sound that cold to some people, but, hey, after 100 degrees with 100% humidity (okay maybe not all summer, but there were plenty of days like that), 50 feels pretty nippy around here and a jacket is in order. (That's for you Alyssa and Hannah. If anyone makes fun of y'all again for wearing a sweater, tell them to come to SC in August and see how they fare. Ha ha!)
Fall makes me want to run and jump and kick my heels up and then I remember that I am not very graceful and am prone to injuring myself like last year when I came off of Roo, the horse,
and slammed into a wall. Very Ouch! That was one of my more graceful falls. I still think he's beautiful though and very sweet. No hard feelings there, Roo. I'm the klutzy one. I can slam into a wall just walking down the hall at my house and injure myself or destroy a toe running up stairs. So this year I will gently kick my heels up as the leaves fall.
I feel friskier than usual (I want to set off doing cartwheels across the lawn), the dogs feel friskier (Buzz runs around like a crazy man), Roo feels friskier, and he has to be ridden down more or lunged to get out some of that excess energy. Here's Elizabeth lunging Roo. Now she's the only one riding him.
I'll just get frisky kicking up the leaves and feeling the cold air against my cheeks--swirling with the leaves in the air to fly free. 
Enjoy the cooler temps y'all! Be sure and bundle up, you girls in the snow. I'll try not to fall down and twist a knee when I go out and twirl with the leaves.Happy Frisky Fall!

It was so nice of you to comment on my blog today and let me know you were there. I always find that so thoughtful. And I adore fall. It is hands-down my favorite. When spring comes, I used to think of switching loyalties, but there is just nothing like the breath of fresh air that comes with fall.
I love spring too. All the flowers and trees coming to life, but the pollen kills me, so... It's a close race though. Fall wins out by a crisp breeze and fresh apple cider.
