A Sweet Suprise

Look what the Berrys gave me!

Aren't they beautiful?

Hay Bales and Pumpkins

Oh yeah! Here we are again... Only this year, we have 3 hay (or straw;) bales.

Isn't fall fun?

What could be more beautimus?!

Fall Fashions

I do LOVE fall. Cider, pumpkins, hay bales, warm colors, my birthday ;), and the cutest fashions - Mm! What's not to like? Today was the first day that actually felt like fall. Overcast, windy, and chilly. Right up my alley.

What better to wear to work than a sweater, scarf, dressy pants, and heels?

A good sweater covers most of my hand

Kitten heels

Black N' White is fun too

So, girlies, what is your favorite fall fashion?

Harvest Ball 09: Decor

"It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind." ~Jane Austen in Emma

I think there may be many in our ball group who would disagree with JA on this one. :P We do love a ball! *Said in my best Lydia voice* And the committee perhaps loves them most. We enjoy the pre-meetings, the practices, and the decorating!! And speaking of which... check out our facility!

Falltime - Part 3

Ah, there's nothing like preparing for the winter and year to come... with a freezer full of meat. Is anybody ready for stew?

"It's the Economy, Stupid"

Yep, I just quoted Bill Clinton... Scary, huh?

I am fascinated by the economics of politics. Politicians use economics (and the current state of the economy) to persuade voters, but economics has a lot to say about the political arena too.

I've been reading about Median Voter Theory in Economics recently... Y'all will probably see some Median Voter Theory economic posts in the next few weeks... Until then some pictures to whet your appetite.

Falltime - Part 2

Saturday morning dance practices are a BIG reason why I love the fall. Although this is only the second year we've had them, I look forward to every one as if it were an established tradition.

Falltime - Part 1

I love autumn! It is my favorite time of year. The crisp air & beautiful colors bring joy to my heart. Each year, there are lots of things I look forward to... over the next several posts, I'll share some of them.

Fall Scenery

I may not always love to study... but coming back to campus in the fall is not without its joys. Nothing can beat the WVU downtown campus for beauty in the fall. Woodburn circle... All the trees... the flowers. Gorgeous!

The leaves beginning to change

The hazards of reading economics outside

Even the colors at home...

And who can resist fall clothing?

School hoodies are the best!
