Fall

So we aren't quite to the "leaves change color and fall slowly to the ground" stage of fall here in St. Louis, but these last two weeks or so have been absolutely beautiful! Last week it was about 75 dreses and sunny, this week we're back into the mid 80s and it is so

perfect. I honestly don't think I've had this

many days of sunshine in a row... in my lifetime! When in Seattle can you count on ONE hand the number of times it has rained in the last month? Never. The month of September: twice.

I know that as soon as I publish this post, I'll check the weather and I'll have jinxed it and the forecast will change to rain for the weekend or something... no no no!!! But, in the meantime, I am soaking up the sun!

I have class at 9am Mon, Wed, and Fri and 10am Tues, and Thurs. So on tuesdays and thursdays I normally go to the gym and do my "ten-minutes

on the elliptical- whoop-de-doo!" But as that has gotten a little boring and my back isn't healing as quickly, I thought I should maybe stop the elliptical and just try walking in the mornings. So Tuesday I walked over to a little coffee shop about a mile from campus and boy, was that the perfect way to start my morning! Here are some pictures since the morning was so beautiful!

These houses here are like castles!!!

The "secret" archway back onto campus... I feel like Alice in Wonderland or something.
