Refrigerator Notes In this issue..

When you think fall, you may think “pumpkin spice.” Most people either love it or they don’t. I won’t take up valueable column inches to debate the merits of the PSL. Frankly, I can take it or leave it. I prefer caramel.

Fall is that wonderful time of the year (at least here in the Ozarks) when some days are warm enough for shorts and sandals and others require a hoodie and boots. Mmmm...I love my hoodies!

But, I’ve become one of those people who wears my sandals until the last possible day when the cold is just too much for my toes. (Another debate we’ll skip—open-toe shoes and white after Labor Day. I know what I was taught. But, sorry, Mom—I love my sandals.)

How do your activities change with the seasons? With my son away at college now, my dog and I will take more walks.

He’s half Siberian husky and doesn’t tolerate the midday summer heat. I have to agree with him.

The change of seasons brings tradeoffs. I look forward to bundling up in a blanket to sit on the deck with a book, simmering a pot of chili on Sunday afternoon (leftovers!), and feeling crisp breezes. But, I’ll miss the trips to the river and taking care of my outdoor plants.

(Mowing the grass? Not so much.)

Hopefully you’ve had a summer of fun with your littles and bigs, and you can cherish those memories when the days are short and too cool to play outside.

Remember, hug your kids. Hold hands.

Read aloud together every day. Say “I love you” a lot. And, always be good to yourself. You’ve got this! |
