Welcome Autumn...

I love the memories that summer brings... swimming in the pool... beach day Mondays... campfires at the beach... BBQ's with friends... air conditioning on sweltering hot days... playing in the sprinklers... squirt gun fights... poolside breakfasts... spontaneous picnics... story time at the library... and life in slow motion with schedule-free days... and although these days are carefree and easy... it's so nice to welcome fall...

I'm so happy that it's finally Autumn! It's one of my favorite seasons with... warm fires on chilly evenings... and then, of course, there is... our annual trip to the pumpkin patch... beautiful fall colors bursting out everywhere... homemade treats & breads of any kind... cooler weather sweaters... bright rosy cheeks from playing in the brisk fresh air... bike rides to the park... snuggling up with a cozy blanket and a good book... Starbucks pumpkin muffins along side a warm pumpkin latte... picking apples... hot cereal for breakfast... soft warm flannel sheets... biting into the first candy apple of the season... pumpkin carving... the crunch of leaves when you walk... hot chocolate mornings... the smell of cinnamon everywhere... and then there are the holidays it leads us into... and to welcome you perfectly... I say welcome October with a lovely pumpkin latte... happy October 1st!

May this first day of October lead you into a wonderful Autumn season...
