Please hurry.

This is what I want right now. FALL. Changing leaves. Pretty colors. I know I will have to drive or fly somewhere else to see these things since they are pretty much nonexistent in the desert. Maybe I will get a glimpse of the beginning of fall when I go to Baltimore and DC in a couple weeks. I like living in Arizona but I sure miss living in the Midwest and getting four seasons. I miss jumping in big piles of leaves and finding ladybugs. I miss making snow forts. I miss the spring showers and beautiful flowers. (Hey, that rhymes!) Maybe one day I will be able to move somewhere to experience these things again. I would love for my kids to have some of the same memories that I have from my childhood. ♥
