Fall has fell

This is definitely one of my favourite times of year.
The leaves are falling, the schoolwork is piling up, exams are starting to creep up on students everywhere, several elections are just around the corner..

It's exciting and stressful, and at least it's pretty to look at. The fall always reminds me of family. It's the time when you start staying in the house a little more and only going out when you need to, or when there's festive things to do, like "going apple-picking," where you pretend to pick apples--and maybe pick one or two--but actually just buy some and eat them. Or pumpkin carving, or going for fall-foliage walks that you'd never actually call "fall foliage walks."

My point is, it's a good time to spend some time with the fam, so have at it. Schoolwork and elections are super important, but nothing is more important than your family!
