It Feels like Fall!!

I can't hold back another second! I know it's August but the last few days have been cool around here, and although it's dryer than the Sahara, it feels like Fall! 



And something about Fall always incites in me a sense of exhilaration. It's like no other season. There's an excitement, an expectancy, a desire to connect with nature and friends. 




There must be something deeply rooted in the psyche about harvest, bounty, gratitude and community as the days shorten. Do you feel it?




We're celebrating with some weekend road trip photos to kick off the Fall vibe a little early. 



Ahhh... It's sooo nice to be embraced by crisp autumn air after a brutally hot summer.


So along with the hustle and bustle of the Back-to-School season...





And the likelihood of a few more hot days for some splashy summer playing...




And the need to keep our little feathered friends splashing with a ready water supply...



Don't be surprised if I dive straight in to some Fall projects around here!


While we also dive into some fresh Peach Crisp I just baked in these cute little mason jars...




Are you ready for Fall?



Let your blog or website celebrate the season, too!

  2. I'm longing for fall! It never fails that I at the end of July I'm so sad summer is speeding along, but by mid-Aug, I'm sort of ready for the heat to be over!

    Ready for scarves, leaves and hot lattes!

  3. I too am ready for Fall. Ready for the cozy vibe that Fall brings.... The richer colours in the decor, the 'homey' type foods. Crisp apples and the smell of spiced apple candles burning.
    No cooler days for me as yet. Florida Summer is still holding strong.
    I am ready for cozy!!
    Cheers, Gee

  17. Can't say I am ready for fall quite yet although it has been cool, rainy and gloomy here on the coast of NC. It seems summer has flwon by. I am sure I will start dreaming of pumpkins, falling leaves and the scent of apples soon!

  18. Your photos are absolutely beautiful! I want to see those places in person. I completely feel ya on the harvest season being deeply rooted into us. I am ready for fall, and want a little more than just a taste of 85 degree weather. At least its a break from 105!
