With today being the last day of September, it seems appropriate to wave goodbye to the summer, and welcome Fall with open arms. The Fall season inspires so many of us to don our
boots and flannel checks, daydream of cool, crisp evenings and warm our homes with the fragrant scents of fall - pumpkin spice, apple pie, cinnamon and pine cones and so much more. While living in nearly 300
days of sunshine has certain perks, the anxious arrival of cooler temps sends
me into what I refer to as “mastering fall trickery.”
For years now, the dear husband has watched the house get
‘dressed’ in fall attire in the first few days of September, all while the kids
are still out back practicing cannon balls in the pool. The pumpkins adorn the
fireplace mantel, the buffalo check pillows find their place on the sofa, the
wax warmer scent of apple spice permeates through the house. It is the end of
summer survival mode and the beginning of our “beautiful weather” months. True Fall begins when you can pull out your favorite pair of weekend jeans and wrap yourself in a flannel shirt. My favorite weather forecaster says we won't see these days for another few weeks, so I anxiously wait.
I think this week, I'll sip some pumpkin spice latte and snuggle up with a favorite book and comfy blanket. Cheers to autumn.
