it's finally here. {well, almost.}

i love autumn.
{thank goodness it officially starts tomorrow.}

happy autumn, my dearest friends.
this is my favorite time of year.
hands down; no argument.

i think i'll pull out my boots and scarfs, 
order a yummy apple cider from starbucks,
stock up on cans of pumpkin,
pull out my fall decorations {early on} to enjoy their festivity, 
and finally light my fall scented candles. 
{candles during the holidays are my weakness- i swear i could burn through one a week if lovebird let me.} 

all these things, just to celebrate autumn's arrival. 
after all, i'm so excited i don't have to anticipate doing all my favorite things;
 wearing fall colors, lighting those delightful scented candles, 
baking pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, wearing layers upon layers, 
coming home to a festive home and sleeping with the windows open at night.
all good things happen in the autumn. 

what are you doing to celebrate the first day of autumn?
i hope you have a happy weekend
and that the first day of autumn is nothing but exciting for you.
i have to get through two tests today before i enjoy tomorrow-
which means the celebration will be that much better.  
xoxo

  3. I love it too! What a fun post! Hmm I don't know what to do to celebrate it but I'd love some good ideas! Usually we would go to a pumpkin patch but they don't have those here in GA.

  4. Autumn here in Houston is the best time of year! The humidity has finally gone!

    I will celebrate by running and not feeling like I'm gong to die from heat exhaustion!
