There's something about shopping for pumpkins when it's 85 degrees and sunny that doesn't feel right to me. Capris and a t-shirt are just not appropriate garb for manhandling giant squashes - that's the domain of corduroy and sweaters and, at the very least, closed-toe shoes.

It's this time of year in Florida that reminds me how much I miss the chill in the air, the colorful leaves and the hot apple cider of a fall day in Virginia.
