One of the great things about living in Texas is the change of seasons. For me, by the time cooler weather comes, I'm ready. And the same goes for warm weather. Even though it gets pretty darned hot in the summer months, I can manage it better than the frigid cold winters further north.
I love the clean, crisp air that Autumn brings. I love the changing colors of the leaves. I love the smells of spiced cider and baked banana bread. And I love to pull up my cozy, warm, snuggly patchwork quilt and watch a good football game on the tube with the Mister.
Most of all, the first day of Autumn begins to usher in another great holiday season! Time to decorate! Pumpkins, pansies, and pattypan squash pepper the landscape in old wagons, wheelbarrows and bales of hay.
The next fun thing: Oct. 2 I'm headed out to Canton with "the girls" and look forward to finding some treasures and enjoying the milder weather after a long, hot summer. In the meantime, enjoy this festive snapshot to help get the fall mood flowing...
