Counting Upward

Today was a wonderfully breezy day. The leaves on the trees haven't changed much yet, but they have started falling. I love that the temperature is finally starting to drop. Today as I was doing things around the house, I opened all the windows. It was so beautiful outside!
I worked at the toy store today. I heard a silly conversation take place tonight between my co-worker, Carolyn and a little boy. I've seen the boy and his mother before. He has light brown curly hair and today he was wearing a pair of lime green sunglasses. As he and his mother were leaving, Carolyn said bye to them and the boy stopped to talk to her. She asked how old he was and he told her to guess. She said, "Three?" and he said, "No. Higher." Carolyn guessed five and he said, "Three the other way." She then said, "Four?" The boy finally gave in and said, "Three and three-quarters." Carolyn jokingly said, "Who's counting anyway, right?" The boy pointed at her and said, "You are!" It was precious. That boy always seems like such a cute little free-spirit. I love it.
After I got off work I drove to a coffee shop and got an Americano. I miss coffee shops so much. I rarely go, but love the atmosphere and the smell... everything. I browsed the shelves while I was waiting and found a brilliant invention. I bought it. It's basically a French Press in a take-with-you cup. Makes me happy!
