Autumn

This is the first day of Autumn, you know. And do you know what that means? Time to get all the decorations out. Time to buy new teas for the cool days ahead. Time to pull out all my sweaters, and big fuzzy socks. Time for mugs to come off the top shelf down to the hooks hanging under the cupboards. Time to make hot chocolate and greet the man of the house with hot food when he arrives home from work. This is the time of year we cuddle in blankets to watch movies. Time to bring out the long games, and spread the warm rugs by the fire. Time for extra-warm, fuzzy towels for when you step out of the shower. Time to start canning, and baking, and applesauce making. Time to pull out the old cookbooks, going through them and making yourself sneeze on the dust. Time to pick up family photo albums, and start new ones of your own. Time to put new throws on the couches.

Mmm, I love Autumn. <3

  This is the time of year we go outside, we dig the rakes out of the shed. If we have a friend along, we throw leaves up in the air and watch the swirl around our faces as they float to the ground. This is the time of year we make campfires, and eat s'mores; all bundled up in our warm jackets and sweaters. Time for apple picking and apple cider. Pumpkin pies and candy corn. Raking, mittens and hot chocolate. Knit yourself a scarf, share one with your friends. Make a pot of soup and invite over the neighbors. 

 Or how about bobbing for apples and freezing your noses off? Then come inside for hot cider and Autumn-y snacks. Try homemade caramel apples, or weaving a baskets. The ideas are endless of what you could do. Enjoy while it lasts, and when it's over, remember it will come again next year! <3
