I love, love love this time of year! I've been decorating for fall and halloween and it always feels so warm and cozy. Although it's a little more minimal than last year...it's still fun to have the lights, pumpkins and ghosts about...and there's still time to add to it!
{I've already filled the candy jar a couple of times! I love candy corn...darn it!}
I love the happy halloween blocks...{from Target of course!}
...and the glow of jack 'o lanterns...
The weather is finally cooler...and it's really feeling like fall now!
...and a few yummy fall aromas in the air make it even more perfect...
...and the smell of Dan's favorite cookies {the one thing he loves this time of year!}...

I can smell them already...I think I will make these for my birthday {tomorrow!} instead of cupcakes!
{...and don't let her expression fool you...Snowball is thrilled beyond words for fall too!}
...love the leaves changing color, warm sweaters, and a warm cozy fire too!
What do you love about Fall?
I love pumpkin cookies ... I love pumpkin ice cream, and bread and muffins and scones... I love everything pumpkin... except for pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteOh I also love the turning leaves, cooler temperatures... and sweaters!!!!
Your decorations are so cute. I realized this year that I don't have a lot of decorations (hmmm...do I see a little shopping in my future). I think I might have missed out on the pumpkin soaps though and I'm so sad. I knew I should have run right out as soon as I saw them. I love Fall, Halloween, apple cider, hay rides, the leaves changing, coolers temps and pumpkin food!
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are GREAT! Bet the kids really enjoy Halloween at your house. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the chocolate candy corn? Oh my. And the caramel apple candy corn, too. Goodness. I wish they'd stop making the stuff before I gain 100 pounds! I keep it in a chicken feeder on the island in the kitchen. :)
Oh how I love fall...let me count the ways...cool crisp air, pumpkin patches, apple orchards, bonfire smells, sweatshirts and jeans, football, changing colors...but alas I live in AZ and they have never heard of this season...fall...sad but true!
ReplyDeleteIt's beginning to feel like fall here too. It's a nice change after the hot summer. Love the pumpkin cookies recipe. Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! Love the shot of the cat thrown in there :) I am with ya on loving fall. This year has been especially nice around here. Makes me want to use up all of my vacation days though!
