I can begin to see why people talk about or actually do gain weight over the winter, and the felt need for shaping up for swimsuit season.  I'm sitting here at the front desk, and I can't remember all of the people who have donated candy for the bowl.  It's over-flowing, and I have 3 partial bags waiting their turn, while there are a few plates and bowls in the kitchen, and my stomach has indulged in its fair share.  Just about the time that the Halloween candy has run out, Thanksgiving will roll around, and then Christmas!  Will I be perpetually full?  Will I need to pick up some new work-out routine this winter/spring to be in shape for warmer weather and skimpier clothes?  Does anyone care?  Stairs sound like one way to burn calories, but not as fun as kissing!  haha.

It sure is beautiful out!  the myriad of leaf hues is amazing.
