It’s Finally Sweater Weather — Even if Your Sweater’s on Your Head!

Fall has always been my favorite time of year.  The start of a new school year feels like a fresh start for everyone, and the cooler weather is a welcome change from the hot summer– especially this year, with the 100+ degree temperatures here in St. Louis.

Although the heat seemed reluctant to relax its grip this fall, it’s finally what I call  “sweater weather,” perfect for sitting on the front porch with my two “office assistants,” Luke and Nemo.

They’re now able to wear their own “sweaters,” courtesy of a trip I took to Iceland this past summer. I don’t know how long they’ll keep them on, but I know from experience that they’ll keep sitting on the front porch with me until it’s too cold for me to write outside. I draw the line on typing with mittens on!
