Recently I’ve been into all that is fall. For me, this means more time in the kitchen baking meals and treats that make the house smell divine! Squash dishes, ginger snaps, pumpkin bread, and of course soup!

It also means that as it gets colder outside, we’ll eventually retire the bicycles for a season and find things to do inside. My favorites include sewing and reading of course! Right now I’m reading A Thousand Splendid Suns which is pretty good so far. And I’m onto my third vintage-style apron, too. I bought some really fun Michael Miller fabric called “Mrs. Perfect” that I think will be…. perfect! What a fun gift to give to friends who love to cook.

Another thing to love about fall? Long socks with crazy patterns. Target always has good ones.

I love the restfulness the fall and winter season brings. It gets dark by 5:30p.m. We tend to eat earlier and wind down for the evening. It’s so good to stop and rest. And after a long summer with many hours of yard work and feeling like you have to go, go, go until 9p.m., I’m ready for a bit of a break. The Lord is so good to give us seasons, and I’m rejoicing in all the fun fall things to look forward to!
