Hello Autumn.

Saturday was the first day of Autumn.

We welcomed it with open and still slightly sweaty arms.  

I refused to let the heat get me down on Saturday.

Today was another story. 

I am desperate for fall to arrive.

The cooler weather.

The boots and scarves.

The activities and traditions.

The blow-drying my hair without getting a sweat moustache.

I have decided to embrace Autumn.

Our Autumn.

Even if it is still in the 90's.

Even if our trees are still as green as ever.

I will still decorate with gourds.

I will still burn my maple pecan candles.

I will still insist on crafting with wool felt even if it makes me break out in hives.

Breaking out the well-loved mocs.

Fresh morning breezes....

A good strong brew... with a dash of milk and a wee bit of sugar.

Fresh buttermilk orange muffins.

Doing a little research for a quick fall getaway for three.

A little math on the couch.

Apple tasting and a bit of science.

Apple crafts.

A bit of crafting.

And a bit of decorating.

Cheering on our favorite football team.

Resting in the afternoon sunshine.

A perfect bowl of popcorn.  Our favorite evening snack.

Hello, Autumn.
We've missed you.

So glad you are back.
We had a fantastic weekend enjoying you.

And we are looking forward to many, many more wonderful weeks together.
