* orange cauliflower   * crunchy leaves underfoot   * mini pumpkins   * peachy autumn sunset over the water   * a slice of pizza   * adulting   * coughing   * crickets everywhere

* seeing my friends for the last time before they leave for france   * closing the windows
* leaving work early and solving a problem   * seeing my baby, she’s so wonderful, and meeting her boy for the first time   * providing a solution for a friend’s problem

* early darkness   * feeling proud seeing my photos printed life size and displayed at work
* relief at completing a time sensitive project   * feeling happy spending a weekend with my daughter…we had fun, we laughed, it was the nicest weekend

* the foliage is getting better every day   * coffee with sugar   * seeing the “closing soon” on the cute farmstand around the corner   * some of last year’s winter dresses are just too big now   * still coughing   * feeling compassion for a co-worker who thought she really screwed something up at work

* the smell of damp fallen leaves   * too quiet after my daughter left
* much too quiet   * anxiety ramping up for an upcoming work event   * hearing a tree fall during a windstorm   * roads slippery with wet leaves   * pumpkin blondies   * excitement of winning the halloween costume contest at work!
