Falling forward

Fall is not messing around here in Portland. As of last weekend, the air became crisp and the leaves on the Dogwood tree in the backyard have started to slowly fall to the ground. I am a big fan of fall. Maybe it's the scarves, boots, sweaters and smell of pumpkin spiced goodies.

I purchased these boots last fall and have been missing them dearly:

What is your favorite thing about Fall? 

Fall is Upon us

Hooray! I am pleased to announce I am wearing boots today. Beautiful Downtown Portland is suppoed to reach a nice and pleasant 74 degrees today. I woke up this morning to darkness outside and realized that is one of my favorite things about summer; all of the light. I love waking up at 6am (okay, maybe not) and it being light outside and also being able to take the Pug for a walk after dinner. Now my light menu will consist of dark with a side of dark. Boo!
But, I will take however, the fabulous stuff that does come with fall. Let me just list them out, cause I like alot of things about fall:

-chai tea
-leaves changing color
-crisp air
-scarves
-boots and skirts
-curling up by the fire
-tea in general
-quiet mornings
-harvest time
-halloween candy!
-coffee drinks!
-new photo ops
-fall lines-I seem to buy alot of my clothes in the fall.
-having an excuse to hunker down inside

I think that about covers it. Happy Fall!
