Happy October!

"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." - Tom Hanks as Joe Fox (You've Got Mail, 1998)

Imagine that....It's only October 2nd and I've already been bitten by a strangely fimilar bug. As I walk through the narrow aisles of the Saturday Farmers Market, I enhale a waft of crisp cold air. To my delight, I let out a heavy sneeze and then smile, releaved to know that summer is well gone and the delightful misery of Fall allergies is swiftly upon us.
