Favorite time of year.

This afternoon, at approximately 1:15, we started getting out first snow of the year in the Tri-Cities area. 

It didn't last long, about an hour and a half before fading away...but, hey, at least it didn't just turn into rain.  It tried valiantly to stick around, but with an air temperature of 36 degrees, the odds were against it.

 

I LOVE this time of year. 

Football seasons are in full swing...college football is getting exciting, with the non-conference cupcake games a thing of the past, and the NFL is at that point where we know who is good and who is not, but the Superbowl is far enough away that I'm not already dreading the end of the season.  Even better this year, there is no Pro-Basketball to distract ESPN from what is important.

The weather is perfect...crisp, and sometimes actually cold in the morning, but warming up to the mid-40's, and sometimes 50's in the afternoon.  This temperature range is great, because it signals the start of my 3rd favorite season(#1. Football, #2. Hunting):

Dresses and wool skirts with tights and knee-high boots.  Hubba Hubba.  I'm just shallow enough to admit that that look does it for me.  

Sorry...no pictures of that...y'all just gonna have to use your imagination.  That's a group of photo's that once I start looking at them, you never know what dark corners of the internet you might end up in.
