Goodbye sweet summer.... Hello Fall!



Is it just me or did Fall suddenly fall upon us? Yes, when I got up this morning it was actually quite dark outside! I'd be lying if I didn't say that my feet are a little apprehensive at sight of the flip flop weather quickly drawing to a close. sigh. Goodbye strappy sandals, farewell tank tops and camo shorts, alvedersane frappuccinos, swimming pools, and the ability to get a tan without paying for it.

Ahhh yes, but in an effort to avoid getting too sad here, let's take a moment to look at all that is to be gained in this change of the season. And there is much to be gained w/Fall--another FABULOUS time of the year! So with that--Hello to beautiful fall leaves, brisk coffee walks, and fires in the fireplace (I hope more than the two presto logs I burned last year). Hello to watching movies curled up on the couch while the weather rages outdoors, hello pitter patter of the rain on the roof, hello wind that fiercely bends the trees at will. Hello hooded sweatshirts, fuzzy fleeces, and cozy blankets. Hello fantastic Thanksgiving which focuses on the many ways we are so incredibly blessed. And finally, welcome back Pumpkin Spice Latte-it's so good to see you again on the menu!

I know I know, we officially have 11 days or something until the beginning of Fall, and they even say it will be back up to 80 degrees tomorrow. Yet after pondering the many amazing things Fall has to offer, I say bring it on. I've missed you Fall, and I'm glad you're back!
