Fall

***********************

As the leaves change from green to gold and the weather transitions from warm to wet, here on the
West Coast we brace ourselves for Fall. Gone are the long summer nights and the lazy carefree days, replaced by stormy evenings and days spent in the library. Although, as wonderful as Summer is, Fall can be pretty great too what with bundling up, warm drinks, hot soups and all those fun Fall activities we all love so much. Here's a list of what I want to do/see/make this Fall, what's on yours?
