Happy First Day of Fall

Well it has officially begun! The fire is going in the fireplace, I'm wearing my coziest sweater and slippers, a warm cup of coffee is waiting to be finished and the late morning sun is shining through the slight mist in the air. Fall has arrived!

I'm thinking of pumpkins, nostalgic old movies, hot cocoa, baking goodies, crafting, curling up with a good book, knee high boots, cozy sweaters and brightly colored scarves. After a long and trying summer I can't help but be excited for a change of season and all that it holds. I hope you are too!

Happy Fall to y'all!

The Signs of Fall

Dare I say it's beginning to feel a bit like fall? Here in the Northwest we've enjoyed a beautiful summer with even a few days of record breaking high temps but the last few days I've been setting aside the flip flops and pulling out the fuzzy socks. I know fall does not officially start until September 22nd so I haven't given up on summer completley but there is a slight nip in the air announcing that fall is fast approaching.

The weather is not the only thing that is turning my mind towards fall.

A few other signs it's on it's way is the desire to:
