The return of fall...

I'm not sure about you? Most people I talk to just LOVE summertime! I do too..but probably not for all the same reason's you do. I absolutley love the freedom the that summer brings...i couldn't stand the structure and routine's that had to be followed while the kids were about the ages of 8-13...those were the years when they were watching movies with us, with common interests, sleeping in, playing outside kinda unsupervised, having sleepovers, LOVING the beach, swimming in our pool...the house was ALWAYS full with fun! Ok, so your probably thinking that's exactly why I love summer too...but what i will confess to is I HATE the hot,humid weather! Honestly I would much prefer heating my pool to 95 degree's, but have the temperature outside sit at about 20 degree's celseus!!
Ya, I'm a chill kinda girl.
I like the cooler weather...I do however LOVE the beach, mostly the atmoshphere not the swimming. I miss our boat..those days were wonderful, trucking along the water's edge, blarring our favorite songs and having a nice tall cool one...maybe floating on a dinging tied to the boat...loved that!
I do have to admit that autumn is my fav. and I think its because I love the cooler air that it brings, along with the feelings of comfort. I miss my house smelling like pot roast, roasted chicken and apple pie through the summer months. I tend not to cook as much, more things done on the bbq. There's nothing like the family coming home from their jobs and school to a nice homemade dinner, warm and straight out of the oven. I love the feeling of what fall brings...new holidays, old friends, christmas and most importantly Halloween! Its kinda weird how times have changed with that as well...I use to dress the kids up, take them out to get candy and watch episodes of Treat or Treat with Winnie the pool, or Barney's Halloween surprise...today, we decorate the house, buy our candy and hand it out together. Inbetween kids ringing the door bell and the dogs freaking out and running for the front door, we gather around the TV and watch episodes of Halloween staring Michael Meyers..the kids love that and I must admit...I do too! This all of course happens as long as there is no exciting teenage party that they NEED to be at because.."mom, everyone's going!!"
There's one thing that I must say and share that I hope brings as much excitment to your anticipation of fall as it does me...that my friends is this...



A little piece of heaven~
