Autumn is Upon Us

I love Autumn.  It has always been my favorite season.  The crisp air and crunchy leaves, the drawing into the hearth and handwork, the autumnal colors and the holidays approaching... it is always refreshing and restful after a full and active summer.

To begin Autumn we were given a rainy day and so we snuggled up with hot water bottles, a few of our favorite Autumn and season books, and some yummy hot cocoa.  This Autumn will hold three birthdays for our family - one of them a true birth day, a lot of warmth seeking, a couple trips for mum and daddy (alas, one at a time), and some leaf-crunching hikes around our little town.  It sounds good...

Welcome Autumn!
