Here are my top 7:<\/p>\n<p>1) I stopped using the Jergens Bronzing cream on my legs. Living in a\u00a0 Beach town, with glow in the dark legs, I need the bronzer in order to not look like I need a blood transfusion. But when Fall comes, I retire the cream and use the money for a pumpkin spice latte. Bring on the tights and long pants!<\/p>\n<p>2) I put away my white shoes. I know there is no fashion rule that says you can&#8217;t wear white shoes after Labor Day but it has been drilled into my head since I was a kid. This is not a childhood behavior pattern I care to fight!<\/p>\n<p>3) I am watching way too much television, hoping that somewhere in all the new Fall line-up, is a show actually worth viewing! Stand by. It may take awhile.<\/p>\n<p>4) I already know the NFL players on a first name basis and my love-hate relationship with the Chicago Bears is again a reality.<\/p>\n<p>5) I&#8217;m regaining my water view from my office. If only the powers-to-be would cut down the trees blocking my view! And of course replant those trees somewhere else where people appreciate them. Easy you tree huggers!<\/p>\n<p>6) Christmas decorations are prominently displayed at Costco! Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p>7) I can actually park my car, sit on the beach without seeing people burned to a crisp, and breathe a sigh of relief that the cheesy souvenir shops are now closed.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s have some fun with this. What are your tell tale signs of Fall?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 80 degrees again today but hey it&#8217;s Fall! None of the leaves have changed color.
