Smart folk hit the pumpkin patch earlier this week and took care of the “end of summer” final yard work projects. But, if you are like me, you are frantically looking for rain boots, umbrellas and trying to figure out how to stay dry during Saturday’s football and soccer games. As my good friend, Stephanie says empathetically, “embrace your imperfections.” Welcome fall – rain or shine.
