We've had a long, beautiful, hot summer here in Iowa. It stormed all through the night last night. And this evening there's the smell of autumn in the cool air. It's time to say goodbye to the iced lattes, Summer Shandies, and sweet tea. And to welcome the return of pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin lagers, and hot cocoa. Oh, I just can't wait. Dear Fall, please just get here already. I'm ready for the jeans, the jackets, the boots, and the scarves. The pumpkin patches, the fiery leaves, the hayrides, and the barns.
