I love the changing of seasons. It's not always just one season I like. Some people say..."I just like summer," or "I just wish it was always fall." I decided that it is almost a perfect balance for me. The way it is set up just makes me appreciate them more. I love love love love LOVE fall. It is my favorite. But I would not love it as much as I do if it were always fall. And winter is just as wonderful, but by the time winter has hung around a little too long I am looking forward to spring and summer, which I know I just got sick of. Seasons length and transissions just help me enjoy everything I get. Yeah, I get tired of being cold and wish for hot, but just as easily I get tired of being hot and wish for cold! And even though spring and fall are PERFECT I would be very depressed if I did not have my time in the snow or hot days perfect for swimming. Fall makes me happy. That about sums it up I think.
This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
