This morning I checked the upcoming weather forecast and was delighted to see this: It is currently 82 degrees and I just took Shiloh for a walk. I purposely took my phone so I could capture a bit of fall color. That last one wasn’t an attempt to be artsy but a matter of accidentally…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 5 – Fall Inspiration
Since my internet was down yesterday I need two posts today in order to keep up. It’s 10:15 p.m. as I begin this post and David is already asleep. It’s been a long and exhausting week for him. Since my computer is in our bedroom I’m going to keep this fairly short so my typing…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 2 – First Impressions
As they say, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. I try to keep that in mind as I do my usual housework. Before I dive into a project like cleaning out a closet, I make sure the house is in reasonably tidy condition – beds made, dishes done, stuff put…
My Autumn Bucket List
I took the photo above last November but I’m re-running it for this post because, well, it doesn’t look like fall here yet and I needed a picture. Y’all know how I feel about summer ending and how I live in denial about the whole thing. If I had my way the year would go…
Autumn in Oklahoma
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, otherwise known as the first day of fall. Here in Oklahoma you might be forgiven if you didn’t notice that. It was very warm today and not at all fall-like. Actually that’s okay with me. I like early fall well enough as long as I don’t think too much about…
On days like these…
Yesterday I had a doctor appointment and rather than going through town, I took the back roads. I did so to avoid midday traffic (if you live in a city, you can laugh) and traffic lights but I was so struck by the beauty of the route that I went home that way, too. You…
Autumn Arrival
Today is the Autumn equinox and the weather was definitely fall-like here. It’s a welcome respite from an exceedingly hot summer and many are almost giddy about the weather. I’ve been reading Facebook status updates from friends who can hardly wait to pull out the sweaters and scarves. I must admit I don’t quite share their…
A Change of Seasons
Today was the first full day of Autumn. I’ve been in a state of denial about the changing of the seasons and the end of my beloved summer but it seems everyone and their brother is in cahoots and determined to make me face facts. You know, it isn’t that I dislike Fall. It’s really…
