    I was beginning to feel bad thinking we were having better weather here in Ohio. But, you’ve still got us beat. We did have all the windows open yesterday as it was almost 70. But according to the Almanac, the first snow is only about a month away. Yikes!

    As a New Englander, I can’t imagine fall anywhere else, but I’m glad to know that you have pumpkins and apples and all of that autumn has to bring (except maybe the foliage?).
    I absolutely love autumn in Vermont (where I recently moved), but the leaves are already off the trees, and the night temperatures have dropped below freezing already. I think a mix between where you live (temperature wise) and where I live (foliage wise) would be a good place. 🙂

    Fall is such a awesome season! My favorites are pumpkin pies and real apple cider! I love all the quilts you’re making!! Getting cozy under a warm blanket is so lovely this time of year!

    I love that you have ‘birthday cake’ flavoured tea!
    And that bread looks REAL good Elise.

    Such interesting tea names! I need to find me a tea place that does cool sounding teas like those! I love the colours of your new quilt, too!

    I needed that. I live in sunny south Florida and we’ve had our wettest summer ever and now we’re waiting(impatiently) for that first cool front to dry out the air and lower the temperature a few degrees. In the meantime, this lovely blog post and all these fab autumn photos will do just fine! Thank YOU!

    I totally hear you on it being hard to get out of bed in the mornings with snuggly sheets. My super snuggly dog made it difficult this morning. All he wanted to do was cuddle and snore in my ear!

    Thanks for sharing!
    ps. I’m not familiar with Davids Teas. Would you be willing to do a review post?

    I’ve just been on holiday and am catching up on all of the blog posts I’ve missed and couldn’t help but zone in on the Omnivore’s Dilemma because I’ve been reading it while away. Knowing what to eat after reading it is a struggle!
