I heart Fall.

I love Fall.  I love Summer too, but sometimes it gets too hot for my liking.  I am a sunshine girl, and love my flipflops... but gosh, Fall is amazing.  I love watching the leaves turn.  I love drinking hot drinks while walking around with a coat on.  I love the anticipation of Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I love the colors of orange, red and yellow.   I really, really wish I had screens on my windows, because I'd leave them open occasionally.  It's quite nice that the merchants haven't started over heating their buildings just yet too.  I'm surprised by the abundant snow in the north, but since the last few winters have started a tad on the late side, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.  I'm hoping we get snow soon too.  However, Kansas City isn't exactly ever prepared for snow, and has no idea how to deal with it, so I shouldn't hope too hard!  :)

I went to a corn maze last week with David, a new horn player in the orchestra.  It was at Louisburg Cider Mill, and we had a great time drinking cider, eating Apple Cider donuts, and walking through the maze.  It looked really big, but we schooled it....completing it in about 15 minutes.  Haha.  Afterwards we headed over to the goats and went back inside for more donuts.  :)  I love things like that!









So yeah, I got overly excited when I was there, but what I'm REALLY excited about is going up to Liberty and going through their maze.  While this one was maybe a 1/2 mile through (although it looks much bigger in the aerial view), the Liberty Corn Maze is 4 miles!  We could die in that place!  But, I have this knack (apparently) for doing mazes...and so does David.  That place has bridges periodically through the maze so that if you get lost you can climb up on one to see where you are in the maze.  Wicked cool!  That's in 2 weeks! 

So yeah, I'm in a happy place since it's Fall if you can't tell.  :)
