goodbye summer...hello fall

this is a throwback post from a few years ago. i've been waiting for fall to actually arrive, but i don't know if it's really going to. the leaves are changing and falling (especially all over my yard) so even though it's still nearly 80 degrees in the afternoon, this is utah fall.
