This morning felt so much like a perfect autumn morning that I had to stop and hook myself up with a pumpkin spice latte on the way to work. Now I just want to go play outside. :)

Yummy!
 

The leaves are starting to change. Soon it will be cool enough for hot sandwiches and soups.... andI will to be able to light a real fire in the fire place!
Snuggled up with the dogs a blanket and a book or yarn on the sofa.

When fall comes around everythig feels cozy and homey.

The cooler weather is nice. The end of tourist season is nice. The end of hurricane season will be welcome. But, the best part of autumn is this:

Bundling up in layers
Pulling out my boots (not snow boots, femme boots)
Dinner in the crock pot
Snuggles to keep warm
Fresh crisp apples
Not too hot, not too cold... just right.
Halloween and all things scary and spooky.
The way the darkness gets me to relax after being hyper all summer long.

Cooler weather ... change of color on the leaves ... and my cats start to get fluffier with their winter coats.


P.S. Orange fluff cuz all three are gingers. ;)

hands warmed by apple cider with cinnamon sticks and whipped cream enjoyed while (listening to) the wind whistling thru the treetopshttp://assets.marthastewart.com/styl...?itok=YWuhSPnZ

Well I guess I like carving pumpkins? But that's about it. I do t want Summer to be over. I prefer warm weather and actually strongly dislike fall and winter. :curtain::curtain::curtain:

Leaves changing color.
Walking through crunchy leaves.
Cooler weather. I'll finally be comfortable in sleeveless tops.

I like roasting the seeds! Though they're a bugger to clean first! :blink:

The end of Daylight Savings Time.;,,,

What's not to love! Cold crisp mornings with bright sunlight dancing on colored leaves of gold and brown and orange and red. Warm socks and boots with oversized sweaters and gloves. Long evening walks on crunchy leaves in the woods with the sun going down sooner and a cold fresh face. Warm crackling fires in the fireplace with cold white wine, candles and a hard wind blowing against the windows. OMGosh it goes on and on. Pumpkins, and pumpkin spice everything, hot cocoa and warm brownies right out of the oven. Potato soup and cornbread. Long country drives on tree lined roads that rain leaves on your car as you drive under them. Holy crap on a cracker... I love Autumn.

{ well, it's not really Autumn in Texas until November lol }

God, what DON'T I love about autumn!

I love wearing cozy velvets and sleek leathers and tall boots and carrying my hot coffee around with me in a giant thermos and any excuse to eat too much pumpkin-flavored-anything and cuddle-weather and staying in and reading by firelight and and and!
