i’m sorry, i’m sorry! but hear me out: the high all week long is 70 degrees. like seven zero. that makes the mornings mid-fifty and your coffee and cream that much more pleasant. (please make mine the color of a paper bag. learned that that was indeed the perfect color of a cup of coffee as a little girl who would get my dad coffee at the social hour after church. i loved being asked to get him his coffee, especially when he said sweetly, “the color of a paper bag” so i knew just how much half-and-half to add. steve and i have adopted that as our own mantra.) these nights, i’m climbing under the covers at night and that’s because they’re actually a necessity, i’m putting fleece footie pjs on parker (i’ll admit–we might be a bit early for this one, but he saw them and begged). i’m making tea and draping a throw blanket over me while i watch a show with steve before bed. i haven’t yet worn a beanie (though, i remember well the first beanie of the season last year) but am i sort of looking forward to one? yes. in large part because who needs to do anything with their hair when they throw one of those on?! i’m making playdates to go apple-picking and thinking about my first apple cider donut of the season. and, involuntarily (it just happens!), i’m checking out the latest scarves and beanies of the season. would you look at that scarf up there? the colors are perfect and it’s so loooong. and those clogs… i love them. and this hat? in taupe? or charcoal? perfect.
i’m not ready but i am. i know what comes after fall. and i know that season (that shall not be named) is very, very, very, very, very, very long in the new england region. so i’m not ready, but (in a whisper) i’m a little ready.
I'm loving that scarf! Good choice. I think I can actually make that…looks simple enough! 😉
jealous of you knitters. i can't do a darn thing in the knitting (or crocheting or sewing) department.
AH CAN'T WAIT. Fall is my fav.
Same temps here this week in WI and I am loving it! High of 60 this coming weekend, bring it! Fall is my all time favorite time of year!
I had the same idea as Liz Luscomb, love to make that scarf, it looks so good! I'm totally ready for blankets, fireplaces, soup and pasta-dinners but now summer is back in my area and I'm drinking lemonade instead of that hot cup of coffe – paper bag colour is a really good description!
I love and hate this!!! I always feel guilty for craving the fall and all the cozy romantical feels it gives me especially while it's still summer but I can't help it, even though it's always short lived and followed by you know who! And I have to admit I already wore my first beanie of the year back in August, aaah well!! Love from Canada 🙂
As a Texan, I'm very jealous. 90s all week. And I'm sick of it.
Hahaha, lady, I am feeling the EXACT same way. 🙂
Yes to all! It is already in the low 40's here in Alaska in the mornings. Just enough chill for me to go out early and warm up the car before putting the kids in. I want all the clogs and beanies for than season that starts with a W that shall not be said out loud!
rhymes with "shminter?"
we'll be cursing it together in a few months, kelsey!
Our high is a hundred today, the low is seventy. I am yelling I AM READY!!!
I want that hat!
I never thought I would like clogs again but I kind of do!
seriously. and THOSE ONES.
