Autumn

Oh, how glorious!  Our first fire of the season in the fireplace!  The 50's today made it a bit chilly in the house and I really want to hold off on turning the heat on as long as possible.  Those heating bills are as bad as the cooling bills.  Plus, it makes the house really turn to the fall and winter seasons.  I LOVE watching and listening to it.  




We LOVE the season of autumn!  The coolness, breezes, smells, changing of the leaves, the colors, oh, I love the colors, hot chocolate, hayrides, bonfires, boots, sweatshirts, snuggling just a bit closer, decorations, and friends.  Gratefulness is year round, but there is something about autumn that reminds us to be ever so thankful just a bit more.

LOL. We were talking about building a fire earlier. Just enjoying resting, so haven't done it yet.

I love this cool weather that made it's way in. We haven't started a fire yet but I can hardly wait any longer. Fall is my favorite!!!

I heard from a little birdie you were laughing at us for our fire! It sure does feel good! Maybe you will get to enjoy it tomorrow night for our study if it stays cool.
