That was my last interview of the day, and I might have been a little . . . odd. I don't really remember. We'll just have to see. Love the description of your fall day! It's still warm here, too, so not really fall, but I can certainly pretend. Deborah, that new house you bought this year just sounds better and better! Your own mesquite wood pile? Sweet! BJ, I'm not sure if I've ever even seen a hickory tree, let alone smelled the logs burning. But I love the names birch and hickory--they sound so foodie. Patrick, you make an excellent point. I'm sure the Space Lord has a whole other plan for how the Circle of Life should go. Adrienne, I believe you are correct. Look at how well Treebeard & Co. did.

Maybe because we have yet to take advantage of our fireplace and we've spent five "winters" here. I put that in quotation marks because winter in Georgia is mostly a misnomer. I do love October, though! It's my favorite month of the year. The girls and I sat on the front lawn again today, with the trees shading us and the breeze blowing leaves on a wild ride. It was the perfect first day of October. I was so inspired that we went ahead and got out our scarecrows and foam pumpkins. We'll head to the pumpkin patch before too long! Cool stuff on the interview, Robin! Speaking of interviews, I'm still waiting to see one of those from NYC. The link for the Sassy, Sexy, Smart site still hasn't shown your name. What gives?

Or hickory? Those are the two that do it for me. Especially the birch. There is no better smell on a cold winter day than throwing a piece of birch on the fire. Unless you're mulling some cider on the woodstove when you throw that piece of birch in . . . No birch in your part of the world? Or hickory? Those are the two that do it for me.

Can't wait unitl it's actually cold enough to put one on.
