It's My Birthday!

I'm happy it's Friday. Happy it's sunny. Happy about all the important, lovely, good things in my life and the wonderful, fun, sweet people who have made it all so happy.

Three Fall Outfits

Created these a year or two ago, but with the crisp, cool breezes scattering fallen leaves over lawns and paths, it felt like time to share them again. 

Hello, October

October has always been my favorite month... Halloween, my birthday, my wedding (and subsequent anniversaries), candy corn, changing leaves, and all things pumpkin. But the last couple Octobers have brought with them some difficult experiences. My fondness for the month is a little bit shaken, and I'm hesitant to celebrate wholeheartedly without hesitation or superstition.

But I'm feeling a little braver this morning and hoping for a kindly and cheerful October that brings only happy surprises. I made some wishes on a dandelion's fluff last month. I wonder if they'll come true?

Feels like bright and shiny summer is starting to drift into cool autumn breezes. Farewell lemonade, sunburns, and beach sand. Hello crisp leaves, wooly socks, and hot spiced tea!
