we are in the thick of autumn here in the northwest. i’ve been drinking in these autumn days. soaking up the rich colors. kicking up dirty leaves. jumping in still puddles. & taking the longer route home after a neighborhood stroll. the air is crisp with a chill, yet warmed by the scent of burning leaves & mulling cider. blankets are piled high. the bookshelf is fully stocked with a selection from the library, board games & yarn for crochet projects.

for a season that brings such an abrupt chill, it sure is cozy & warm! :)

here are some scenes from autumn so far:

since moving, i now have a dreadful commute to & from work that can take me anywhere from 25 minutes to over an hour. BUT it’s sights like this that make it just a bit more tolerable…

tea-time evenings. after a long workday, it’s either a cup of tea or a glass of wine in our little abode.

i found this gem at the thrift store near my apartment a couple weeks ago. it reminds me of B & me… i think it’d be fun to recreate this someday.

halloween is one of my favoritefavoritefavorite parts of fall. beekeeper & the beehive/honeycomb/queen bee (you decide). i had so much more planned for my costume but flat ran out of time to execute it right. 

sun puddles after a morning drizzle.

football is a distinctive sign of fall.

colorful walks around town.

& lastly, a sweater, maxi dress, boots & a hat will get you through any sunny autumn day.
