I Love Fall

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."

-Albert Camus

Fall is definitely my favorite season of the year. Not just for the "bounty" but for the beautiful colors that surround us. The days feel cozy and I am in the mood for homemade soup, hot tea, blankets, fireplaces and curling up with a good book. It is cool outside but the sun is not too distant that it provides daytime warmth to enjoy the outdoors. The earlier darkness also provides some calming and comforting. The cool evenings help to relax my mind. It is a time of year for a cup of tea and a warm bath. It is the time of year I treasure and enjoy because it is so brief.

This evening I went to a fun event put on by the Longaberger Co. The President of the Longaberger Co, Tami Longaberger, along with former Cleveland Browns Quarterback, Bernie Kozar were promoting the Companies newest Team Spirit Baskets in Oakbrook, IL. I would guess several hundred Longaberger and football fans showed up to show their support of this newest venture. LB. company representative Tina Smithe drew names every half hour for lucky attendees to win Orange and Black (Chicago Bears colors) Medium Market Baskets.

This event gave loyal fans the opportunity to purchase many others teams colored baskets as well. Northwestern, Ohio State, Chicago Bears, Greenbay Packers and several other teams were represented. You can get your team spirit baskets here.
