The Heart of Autumn
Has anyone seen my fall? Anyone? Because here in Ohio it feels like winter. It's almost as if someone flipped the switch and sent us right to 50-60 degree weather and didn’t even ease us in to fall.

I don’t mind much though. Fall is my favorite season. It’s cool but not cold and I find the brisk air refreshing. And fall in Ohio is perfect.


So I plan to enjoy it while it lasts.

I’m ready for scarves and boots. Tights and hats. A new fall coat. Fall television. Cardigans. Hot chocolate and chicken noodle soup. But not together though, duh. I’m ready for the changing leaves. My puppy barking at and chasing the fallen ones. Taking long walks. Cuddling under blankets.

I just hope that it’s longer than two weeks before we are plummeted into the brutal winter that makes me hate my life. For me, the perfect year would be something like this: Summer Fall Christmas Spring.

p.s. I want to send out a big congrats to my two bloggie friends Princess Hailey and Miss I Dew who are both tying the knot this weekend! Congratulations lovelies and you both will make such beautiful brides! :)

  2. I totally agree! Ohio is messed up sometimes! It's sad when I have to bust out my heavier coat or wear layers in the morning. Luckily I do not have recess duty this year so I can stay toasty warm inside!!

  3. Oh no, thats horrible! I live in Florida and its a beautiful (kinda chilly for a Florida girl) 80 degrees. At least you can enjoy some warm starbucks drinks, yummy smelling candles, and all those fun things to do when its chilly.
