Can You Smell It?

It's just right around the corner. I can feel the eyes of autumn on my back.

I am sooooooooooo damn excited it's almost here.

For the past couple of mornings, it's been a bit chilly in the morning when I've left the house at 5:30 to go to work.

The dogs are feeling it, too. They're friskier and just want to play all day. They're eating more and drinking less.

I came into work this morning and put my iPod on and "Black Cat" by Janet Jackson was the first song to come up on shuffle.

Granted, that doesn't mean much to you, but I can remember listening to this song over and over and over again when hanging out the in park in Florida after school. Usually when it was a bit chilly.

Everything smells sharper and looks brighter.

I feel like Lorelei Gilmore in "The Gilmore Girls" in that episode in season 1 when she opens her window and smells snow. I can smell the seasons when they're coming but the one that I can smell the most is autumn and I don't know why. It's just a crisp, sharp smell in the air and it gives me good chills.

It's right around the corner, y'all, and I couldn't be happier.

Can you smell it?

Later,
