Autumn please hurry...

Oh, how I love Fall!

It is my most favorite season of all, at least it was when we lived in Virginia.

I loved how the heat disappeared and the air became crisp.

I love breaking out my sweaters and scarves to prepare for the cooler weather, and taking the boots out of their hiding place in the closet.

Fall means pumpkins and all of the wonderful recipes that include it. I cannot wait to make pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, and let's not forget the Starbuck's pumpkin spice latte!

So, yummy!

My most favorite part of the fall time in Virginia, had to be the changing of the leaves.

All the beautiful golds, browns, reds, and yellows were just breathtaking.

In Southeast Texas the leaves just do not change like that.

We have pine trees and although they are beautiful in their own way, they don't take my breath away like the trees in Virginia.

Fall is coming and even if it takes a little longer to reach Texas, I will welcome it with open arms!

Cozy sweater-clad open arms that is!
