The first day of Heater...

Hello to whom ever has stumbled upon me.
That is all the Welcome that I can offer you.

Having grown up in Massachusetts I can say with utmost confidence that Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year. This is for a variety of reasons; I love to wear sweaters, hot apple cider that has been just pressed is just about the greatest drink in the world, and if you add a little spiced rum to it... forget it, two of my favorite holidays are in the Fall, the air is easier to breath, nothing beats some hot chocolate, a warm blanket and a good book, the trees are different everyday. I could go on for a very long time here, but I fear that at some point while I am waxing poetic about early morning frost you may become very bored.

There is, however, one thing that I don't like about Autumn, and that is the crazy adjustment period that New England goes through. I mean talk about one step forward and two steps back! Today was the first day that I had to pull out my little space heater and place it under my desk, to make sure that my feet did not turn blue and fall off (the boy would be very upset if that were to happen). Now I know that I will to get used to this, I do every year, it is the fact that Thursday will be close to 70 that makes me scratch my head a little.

Like I said, I grew up in the Northeast. I am used to the crazy weather. I know that old saying: "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it'll change". I am just taking note of the fact that every year this adjustment period is getting more and more erratic. Pretty soon I will have to pack my gloves, flip flops, scarf and a tank top, just for my commute to work. I can only imagine the looks I would get on the T.
