It is the first full week of fall. How do I know? Firstly, the calendar says so. Secondly, we are having the craziest weather, one day it is 80+* and the next day it is 50* and the day after that it is raining almost 90* again! Autum in the Rockies, almost like springtime in the Rockies.
Thirdly, marching band is in full swing, or should I say step. We are beginning the round of fall marching band competitions this week. I love a good marching band. I am really hoping that the band my boys participate in is a good band this year. Competition brackets were redrawn and we are 1 member too many to compete in the bracket we usually compete in, but ah well, I will still be there at each and every competition, cheering and hoping that the sheer will of my wanting them to do well, will help them acheive success.
Fourthly, the morning weather is suggesting boots, and cordoroy, and jackets with a hint of hot chocolate and chili. Soon the temperature will linger on into the rest of the days to hint of the fun of fall to come.
Now, where is my blanket, my stadium seat, my jacket, hot chocolate and my favorite marching band?
Indeed.
