More on Sit-A-Spell

Very quickly the weather has turned from a balmy 80-plus degrees in the morning to a cool fifty-something. Drinking coffee outside now requires wearing a sweatshirt or jacket. How quickly things change! I've also done a little research on the origins American Southern expression meaning to sit with someone and visit. Since I first heard the expression in the US North, I dub this more as an American colloquialism, rather than a "Southernism." In any event, I do enjoy those minutes outside while Fawn goes

parktime and I drink my cofee and sit-- gathering my thougts and enjoying the sunflowers :). Some of the trees are already losing their leaves, and the Old Farmer's Almanac has forecasted a wet and stormy winter season for Winter 2012-- so we will wait to see what's in store for us.
