Fall has finally arrived here in Florida.  The past couple of weeks has brought a chill to the air and crisp, clear mornings.  Most Floridians will tell you that while we love our tropical summers, by September we’re ready to cool off.  This year, fall was late in arriving as we sweltered on through October’s muggy, humid days.  So our “cold front” that traveled through here about a week ago makes my top Thankful Thursday moment this week.  Why? you might ask as much of the country is blanketed in snow and trudging wearily through winter.  This is one of my favorite times of year, that’s why.  I love the day when I realize I can put down my windows on the way home from work and feel the wind in my hair as I sing along to the radio at the top of my lungs.  I love opening the windows on a cold night and burrowing under the covers, curled up with Milo lying against me as we listen to crickets chirping.  And finally, I love sitting around a fire on a cold winter night smelling the wood smoke and watching the sparks jump from the flames.  Happy December to everyone!
