Summer Lasts.


Welcome, Warm and Nostalgic Autumn. The beginning of my favorite time of the year. While there are aspects of every season that I love, my very favorite time of year is the stretch between the onset of fall and the end of December. I love enjoying the harvest, spending time inside making our home cozy, and all of the other comforts that come with fall. I think it is a season that yearns for us to embrace simplicity and to turn our hearts toward home.

Tonight, we enjoyed our elementary school family picnic where we enjoyed the lasts of summer....our last picnic of the year. Good conversation with good friends while watching our kids play together. Our (hopefully) last hotdog of the summer season.

And, of course, who could forget the last frog capture of the year. In our house, catching frogs is a surer sign of summer than nearly anything else.

Goodbye, sweet summer. Hello, gorgeous autumn.
