Goodbye, September



My favorite month!



I'm going to be raking and playing in the leaves.


Afterwards, we'll get cozy
in front of the fire
watching some of these great spooky cool movies
or Fearfest on AMC.


I know some of the world shares my obsession!


Isn't this pretty?  
I Love how simple and effortless it looks, 
just a few acorns and pinecones 
gathered perhaps during an evening walk 
then dropped in a darling Transferware teacup. 


Have a wonderful October!

Here's What I'm Looking Forward to...


So it's August, right?
It's hot outside, there's a LOT of bugs and its Back to School Time.
So here's what I'm looking forward to:

Apples!


The end of August is apple picking time in NC.


Emily and her bff getting ready to fill those bushels to the brim with delicious fresh picked apples!


I love how the rows of apple trees look.


Apples are so yummy!  Do you have a favorite variety?


In September we like to go to the Apple Festival held at Bethabara Park.  There's lots of good food, music, animals & Lots of  Apples.  Maybe this year Emily, my daughter, will be able to eat a caramel apple if she gets her braces off by then!


Or an apple dumpling will be yummy if not.


I'm not only dreaming of cooler temperatures, that crisp-ness in the air, but the changing colors in the leaves!

This stunning photo was captured by my daughter, Sarah, during that magic hour of twilight.  
To see more of her photography check out her blog, Lostvestige  

Don't you just want to jump in the photo and take a walk in the falling leaves?


I absolutely Love the crunchy sound the leaves make, especially when I'm walking in Old Salem.


Even better if I'm sipping a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks!


So, what are you looking forward to?
