first day of fall

Today is the first day of fall! While I am sad to see the summer come and go, I must admit that fall is my favourite season... colourful leaves, fresh crisp air, autumn harvest and Halloween and Thanksgiving... can't wait! Time to shelve the sandals and tank tops and break out the socks, suede boots and cozy sweaters!

It feels a bit more fall-y today, so why not a fall-y image? My husband took this pretty pic while we were venturing out into the woods, enjoying the crisp cool air and taking photos... there were tons of them scattered all around our feet. Now I am regretting not gathering a bunch and having them displayed in our home... it could have made a nice fancy-schmancy Martha-inspired table arrangement in a pretty bowl... argh, don't you hate when these things pop into your head afterwards?
