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.
