This week finally feels like fall. I've been around the Alabama weather scene long enough to know this doesn't really mean anything for the longterm forecast. We've worn shorts to the Pumpkin Patch in October, so a cold-front in September doesn't mean the temperatures are here to stay.

She captured my favorite duo so … [Read more...]
