Unfortunately, there are a flurry of family birthdays in the fall and since I am the family matriarch, they fall on me to organize. My husband turns 60 so a gathering of friends seems appropriate.

I like the fact that it is the month that contains my daughter's birthday and what I don't like about it is that it is carrying me much closer to my own birthday when I shall be a year older and that much nearer to death.

I don't like the cold, but I do love the excuse to be inside and not feel guilty about it. I like fall, the transition between the busyness of summer to the slower pace of winter.
