Happy Fall, Ya'll!

If I put my mind to it, I'm certain I could name over 100 things I love about fall. And quite possibly 70% would be food related. Apple pies, pumpkin bread, caramel apples, pear and cranberry crisps, butternut squash, stews and soups, pumpkin cheesecakes, cider, (insert 400 other ways to incorporate apples and pumpkin here), and not to mention the traditional Thanksgiving feast. Sure, there's more to fall than just food. The leaves changing, the crisp and cool air, decorating the porch, picking out pumpkins, harvest color mums, Indian corn, warm sweaters, tall boots, football season and so much more. Really though, what's not to love?

This fall has definitely been the one I've anticipated most in my lifetime. Sure, back in high school those Friday night lights and cheering on our Warriors were certainly the best part of heading back to school each year, but this year is special. We are feeling settled into our home and ready to welcome the changing seasons and upcoming holidays with open arms. Fall scented candles, warm colored place settings at the table, pumpkins and straw bales and more for the porch... Something about this year finally feels like home.

 We've discovered this adorable farm market not even 10 minutes from our house and have made a few visits in the past few months. It's been a great place to take visitors, gather with friends, and it really brings back some childhood memories. 

Get out there and enjoy this season of life, because I figured out the one flaw to Fall, and it'll be here all too soon. Winter.
