fall hasn't officially arrived yet in the sense of changing colors, even though i did see onebrilliant and shocking orange and green tree off to the right of a exit ramp just this weekend--and my heart stirred at the sight!--but with the coming of the schoolyear's commencement, it's official enough for me. and because of the papers, readings, intense hands on learnings ahead, my heart is a flurry of STRESS in response to fall's arrival. and that more negative and nighttime tossing response to my favorite season is not too welcomed by me.
so today, at target, while buying several things for my lovely home and for the brown bag lunches and hours at a desk (that i've yet to take into my possession) i saw the $1 bins. and my eyes quickly picked up on some fall-ish goodies. i couldn't resist! in order to make fall more lovely than its arrival currently feels to me, i purchased a tiny leaf-shaped hole punch and a fall colored leaves be-decked post-it notepad. last year for my fall semester of classes i had one of those handy-dandy three-ring binders with the plastic overlay and within it i collected leaves of reds and purples that fell from the trees near my thursday morning class. it was a way to celebrate fall and enliven my time with that notebook. so this year i'll use the post-its and punch the pages full of leaf-shaped holes!
(despite it all), yay for FALL! can i get an AMEN?
Like the apples huh? Good luck with school, proud of you!
