October

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. ~ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

October is by far my favorite month. And this year, it has flown by! I need another month of October right after this one! I'm going to miss all my pumpkins when it's time to put them away until next year. I haven't made anywhere near all the pumpkin goodies I wanted, but at least I still have November for pumpkin baking.

The days are getting shorter and it's finally cooling down. For a while there it was feeling more like summer than fall. It will be nice to have a fire going in the fireplace while we lounge around. Sweaters, thick woolly socks, blankets to cuddle under. It's all just so cozy this time of year. And I love it all! Can fall go on forever and ever please.

Fall is Here

Slowly the leaves are turning and falling to the ground.

The weather is cooler - actually downright chilly this morning as I walked into the office. I've been wanting soup lately. I made a pot of creamy chicken noodle the other day, but it didn't come out as planned. It ended up being a pizza night. I have a Pinterest board filled with soup recipes, so that little mishap won't stop me from making more soup.

I love this time of year. I know, I say it every year, so why stop now. This time of year just feels.....cozy. Blankets, socks, sweaters, hot cocoa. Makes you want to hibernate. And we usually do. I've noticed we are going up to our room earlier, burrowing under covers and watching TV from our bed. And with all the rain we've been having - 12 days and counting - being snuggled up under covers just feels right. Weather man says sunshine returns tomorrow. I guess we'll see.

Hello October!

My favorite time of year is here!

It has been raining for 8 days straight now. The leaves are turning, but still a lot of green out there. With all the rain, the cooler temps have arrived. It's certainly feeling like Fall!
