End of Summer
These last few weeks have been hot, sunny, and filled with summer goodness. From picking strawberries at the local (pesticide free!) farm, endless jugs of ice tea, outdoor movie nights in the backyard with our youth group, peach harvest from our tree, picnics at the park (so great seeing you guys again Joel & Sarah!), and bonfires with friends- we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the last weeks of August. The sun will last for weeks longer, but the mornings and evenings will slowly start to cool down until the air is crisp with Autumn and the pumpkins are large and ripe on the vine. I must admit, I think fall is my favorite season- I love trips to the pumpkin patch, leaves turning golden, cozy sweaters, and yummy things baking in the oven. When Spring rolls around and the long winter is dragging on you might hear me say that Summer is my favorite season, but really I think they all have their delights and because I’m a restless soul that craves change, I love living in a place with seasons. Happy September everyone!

Cheers to Autumn! I am SO ready for it. We just got back from a birthday celebration for Uncle Ben, went through Merilyn’s amazing cookbook collection and gathered quite a bit of inspiration for upcoming holiday treats! Can’t wait!

I’m so with you in terms of the change of seasons! Fall is a favorite for me too!!! Your words & photo could win anyone over to the fall season.
