warm and fuzzy

My favorite season is here!

And the house (well... 700 sq ft, 1 bedroom, attached garage, apartment) is getting cozy. :)

The candles are lit...

The sparkly pillows and cozy afghan (knitted by Jeff's Grandma!) are placed... Vince Guaraldi is playing round the clock...


Collected magazines from holidays past are pulled out (Martha Stewart circa 2003!)...

Pumpkins are popping up...

Cinnamon on everything, especially coffee... in our fall color Starbucks mug collection...

Pumpkin pie bites warm our tummies (from the inspirational bakerella.com)...

And warm socks and jammies keep us cozy all day.

Happy Fall! Autumn! October! November! December! :)

Fall... in love

I feel like I'm fallin' for fall

No, I'm not prevaricating or am I exaggerating

Fall has got me in it's grasp, it must be said

Autumn's such a pleasin' season

You must see all the trees in blazin' colors

Orange, gold and red

.

Should I write fall a love letter, tell 'em how I feel

Better every time the season comes around each year

But maybe I'll just go on 'bout how nature puts a show on

As a prelude to all kinds of holiday cheer

.

I feel like I'm fallin' for fall

There are feelings of elation mixed with some anticipation

When I think of all the fun there is in store

And my heart just gets to thumpin'

Thinkin' bout piles of leaves I'll jump in

It's no wonder that it's Autumn I adore!
