Buh-Bye Summer! Hello Fall!

As I type this, I've got a belly full of homemade chicken noodle soup and blueberry muffins.


Can I just say yum? Soooo delicious. You don't even know.


If you know me, you know I love, love, love food; and I especially love homemade food.

There's nothing quite like homemade soup from your mom's recipe.  The only thing better is when your mom makes it for you. Unfortunately, my mom's not able to do that, so I just made it from her recipe. It. Was. Delicious. Really folks, mouthwateringly delicious.

A little weird thing about me is that I can't eat soup in the summer. I just can't. So this means that my body doesn't think it's summer anymore! Yay! I am so excited for fall. So. Dang. Excited. I love the warm bowls of soup and the turtle necks and sweaters. I just love it! Ah! I can't wait for the leaves to change colors, to crunch underneath my feet.

So fall, can you please come a little sooner? I kind of can't wait for you.

Fallen for Fall

Back to school time means it's close to another one of my favorite times of the year.

FALL!!!!!

Oh, there's just so many things about fall that I love, I can't even explain! But I'm going to try.

The leaves ever-changing hues, the way they gently fall from the branches, how they delicately grace the ground with their beauty. The crunch they make under my feet as I walk down the street, the freshly raked piles awaiting to be jumped in.

The jackets, sweaters, and turtle necks; breathing in the fresh, brisk air. Pumpkin patches and hay bales, warm cider, fresh baked apple pie, and steaming bowls of homemade Chili.

The beginning of the holiday season, starting with Halloween and Thanksgiving. The family brought together, the decorations that set the tone for the occasion.

Summer has it's time and place, and I've enjoyed it, but I'm ready. Ready for fall. Ready for all the great things it brings. Ready for this:

Aren't you?
