baby its cold outside...

well, maybe that's a stretch?!
But it is cool...
and I love fall.

I am not complaining about our hot weather.
Summer is actually my second favorite season...

But I am ready for a change.

I am ready for:

our annual visit to the pumpkin patch

Big Train chocolate chai (or vanilla or spiced... but chocolate is my favorite)

a blanket and a book on the front porch

crockpot greatness 

scarves

the Alliance air show

mom's cooking 

dressing up the boys to Trick-or-treat

a date night (or two)

a girl's night

chicken and dumplings

walks in the jogging stroller (or dare I jog, with the jogging stroller)

play time at the park

layered clothing

cinnamon-apple-caramel-cozy scents

candy corn

scarecrows

Thanksgiving

Football

loaded baked potato soup, tortilla soup, taco soup, jalapeno cheese soup, stew
pumpkin carving
grilling out

windows open

camping!  (in an RV of course!!)

autumn colors-- red, orange, yellow-- natural from God

fresh air

FAMILY TIME.

I love fall.
