One year older ...

You wake up and you are 1 year older. The counter now shows 48 year ! (my DH says ... thats almost 50, thats what you get when your DH is 4 1/2 years younger). Its a beautiful autumn day and the leaves are blowing in the wind. This is my favorite season and I'm a real autumn person.
