Autumn is here (though you wouldn't know it in Sacramento... Summer has come back with a vengeance with string of 90+degree days!) and it's time to get my Autumn List in order. Why make a list, you ask? Well, I made a Summer List which actually helped me to prioritize what I wanted to do this past summer with my kids. I figure that making a list for Autumn will help remind me what is important about the season so I can actually focus on those things rather than let opportunities disappear. So here it goes!
