Hello my lovely friends!
I'm totally ready for fall! The moment September 1st hit, I was all in on the autumn vibes. Even though it's still warm out and we're getting a second dose of summer heat, last week gave us a beautiful sneak peek of what's to come. The cool, crisp air was a perfect preview of the season, and I'm ready to cozy up for good.
The autumn air is getting crisp, and my brain is already buzzing with fresh blog ideas! I've decided to kick off my holiday blogging on the first day of fall, which is right around the corner. We've even started watching spooky season movies to get in the spirit. I'm finally excited about the holidays again, and I can't wait to share all the fun with you!
You might have noticed my page got a little cozy—I just couldn't resist swapping my summer look for some autumn vibes. There's just something about the crisp air, warm colors, and all things pumpkin spice that makes me feel right at home. It's getting so good, I'm starting to wonder if autumn might be taking over as my favorite season. Could it finally be time to dethrone winter?
While the crisp autumn air is calling my name, I'm still getting some strong summer vibes! The heat is back with a vengeance, and my yard is definitely showing its exhaustion after a long, hot season.
As the days grow shorter and the air gets crisp, my garden is bursting with vibrant autumn colors. I love this time of year, but I'm ready to embrace the coming season. I’m putting the garden to bed for the winter, and I’m so excited for a break to enjoy some lazy days.
This autumn is extra special because my friend Mike is coming to visit for a week! We're already making plans to get the house ready with all the cozy, spooky feels. He's had a really rough time lately, taking on a lot with his parents’ health issues and the unexpected loss of his stepdad, Greg. It’s been a lot for him to handle, so I'm hoping this trip will be a much-needed escape from all that stress. We both want him to have the perfect, relaxing getaway.
So glad you stopped by! Wishing you the coziest morning/afternoon/evening ahead. Can't wait for our paths to cross again.
The early taste of fall is so welcome. Summer, with the brutal heat, will not be missed. The leaves here are beginning to turn...early. When the wind blows, many are already falling. I truly hope that is not a foretelling of the winter to come.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time decorating for the fall/winter holidays.
Happy Sunday! 🤗💖
I, too start thinking autumn as soon as September 1st arrives. We even pull the AC out of the window. I don't care if we get warm days, I will use fans but I am so done with the window being blocked by the AC and I want the fall air coming in. I figure that any really warm days are not going to last that long anyway. All things autumn are what I am thinking about, warm days or not. I can see the early leaves changing so I am very happy about that. Enjoy every fall moment my friend and especially the visit of your friend Mike, I know you must be so excited. Huge hugs and have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoy the cool crispness of Autumn. Ready for it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Autumn photo, and Scootewr’s, too. You are definitely in the Fall spirit! Lovely.
For sure, w/Autumn’s cooler weather and shorter days, it is nice to have a little slower pace . . . not balancing indoor and outdoor chores.
That is so wonderful to look forward to Mike’s visit and I am sure you Mom and Scooter will make him feel right @ home and relaxed. I am happy for y’all!
hugs and blessings

It's Kathy. Yes, we certainly have fall like weather, a little early this year but I'm okay with that. I'm ready to clean up the gardens and get everything ready for winter! I'm happy that you will have a week to spend with Mike and I hope it's a good relaxing time for him too. Scooter looks adorable! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI do love watching your backgrounds change with the months and the seasons! We're having that coolish pre-Fall weather this end of the ramp up to Denver (Nebraska is one long ramp up to Denver), and I'm savoring it. There is something about the season that has comfortable deck weather!
ReplyDeleteI shall be on the lookout for those holiday blogs to come! Every year brings something a little different, doesn't it?
