Fall

Fall has definitely arrived here. Last week it was mid 70s and beautiful, this week it's been 50s and gross. And I sound like an old person talking about the weather. While manning my post as door holder yesterday morning, I was watching the safety patrol kids outside in their lime green ponchos, seemingly unnoticing of the fact that it was nasty out there. I realized I don't ever remember having bad weather when I was in 5th grade on safety patrol either. Of course we did, but I don't think it matters so much as a kid.
Annnnyways, the cooler temperatures have inspired me to decorate for fall. I made this fall wreath the other day.

I like it a lot. I'd never tried to make anything like it before, but now I'm thinking I need one for every season.
Last night we also went to a party at Mark's, the band director at my school, house, so I broke out one of my Halloween dessert recipies.

Halloween allows for the most fun desserts, I think.
And another sign of fall, tonight the Cleveland Orchestra season starts back up with my favorite--Shostakovich 5!
Have a good weekend :)
