Smells Like Autumn

Crisp yellow and red and orange leaves litter the yard and street. Angie shuffles her feet, just like me, through the leaves lining the curb, joyful at the noise they make. Neighborhood fireplaces emit fragrant smoke, giving the brisk air an imagined warmth. Pumpkins scattered on doorstoops herald the changing seasons. It's perfect autumn weather and I feel like I should be camping with the Girl Scouts up at Mogisca. I love this time of year!

Hey Beckie,

Some young scouts told me they were camping this weekend. It's late in the season but there you go. Want to go with them?
