fall. and other observations.

fall is here.

this is how i know:

honeycrisps, baby. if you don't know what i'm talking about, you have not yet tasted the world's best apple. for all you west michiganders who get pick your apples from cranes, you CAN get them now. many of you believe you can't get them until the 20th, but you can get them here right now. it's the orchard across the street from the cranes with the restaurant. if that makes sense.

guess who hated taking this picture more: richie or norah. the answer might surprise you.
oh, meet allison. hey, girl!


i heard a noise outside my window the other day. when i looked outside, i saw this:

that's garrett. he is my little buddy who lives across the street. what a little gentleman raking my leaves. yesterday he knocked on my door and we had this conversation:

me: hi garrett.
garrett: are you married?
me: no. why do you ask?
garrett: i've never seen a boy over here.

just shoot me now.

that conversation had nothing to do with fall, but everything to do with my ovaries that are withering away like the leaves of fall that garrett just raked to the curb.
