"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you bouquets of sharpened pencils, if I knew your name and address. "~Joe Fox to Kathleen Kelly in "You've Got Mail"
Tomorrow is October 1st and I am thrilled to announce that I will officially be displaying my fall decor. I force myself to wait every year, even though I am itching to do it as soon as two things happen simultaneously: 1)football season begins and 2) back-to-school supplies invade the stores. This is the time of year when I actually, physically ache for some semblance of a season change. Because while the majority of the country can enjoy changing leaves, foggy breath, and warm layers, we southwesterners are still suffering as the temp hovers around the 100 degree mark.
Oh, Fall, Autumn and Harvest, how I adore you. You are cool and fresh and vibrant AND you are just the beginning of annual greatness that is The Holiday Season.
So, I will thoroughly enjoy myself tomorrow as I do the following:
*Bring out the berries, leaves, wreaths and pumpkins.
*Bake an Apple Crisp with my children.
*Make a Fall-inspired craft with them, too. (coincidentally, it is also Craft Wednesday)
*Sip Stephen's Hot Cocoa.
*Turn the A/C down to 70 and wear fleece and slippers...is that taking it too far?

Sounds Fun To Me!!
Yes! I too yearn for Fall...every September 1st, it just should be happening. I too live in an area that doesn't dive into fall and it's sooo hard! Virginia and the East Coast just becomes a part of you that you cannot let go!
Have fun in your fallness!
Amen sista!!

We are enjoying VA's fall! Luke asked me why there were so many leaves on the ground. I love how observant kids are!
Hi Lisa, I love the pictures. Fall is coming to Utah. The mountains have turned the colors. It is cooler at night and we are loving it. We are finally going to have a real Fall, seems like we have been cheated out of it a couple years. You have done a good job bringing Fall to your home. You always do such fun stuff. Love ya, Mom
