Last weekend Camp Pie Hole kicked off the fall season! I have to say this is the beginning of my favorite time of year. I do wish I lived in a place that had four actual seasons, but I make the best of that and embrace what bit of a seasonal change we get. Fall is the inspiration for Pie Hole’s Top Ten.
10. We are in the midst of our Indian Summer! The days are warm, the Santa Ana’s are beginning to blow and the evenings are cool and crisp.
9. Harvest Festivals!
8. All my shows are back from summer hiatus and each day my DVR welcomes me with many options of GOOD TV.
7. Wine tasting at the vineyards!
6. Even though it is HOT outside I embrace comfort food – pot roast, chili, apple muffins (from our tree), anything pumpkin, red wine and freshly baked bread!
5. Costco, Lowe’s, Home Depot and most other retailers are beginning to seductively set up Christmas. I call this Holiday foreplay!
4. I have 90% of my Christmas shopping already done!
3. The holiday catalogues are starting to bombard me! LOVE IT! Now I have to wrestle my two and half-year old over them! I am rasing her well!
2. Even though I hate football, it is nice to know it is there – it is the true sign that fall has arrived! 
1. The beginning of the crazy wild-eyed side of humanity who is gearing up for another season of running around acting like a “Jack”, ” Jenny” or “Hinny”, losing all perspective of selflessness and courtesy in the spirit of the holidays. I am anticipating this time with a full “giddy” approach. The material I am going to get will be priceless!
