No Matter What the Calendar Says,

4 October 2011 7 Comments

It’s officially autumn in this house when:

1.  The highlight of my day is the long, hot bath at the end of it.  One guaranteed hour of peace and quiet. Outside noise muted by the sound of a steady stream of hot water.

2.  I cook. Real Meals. The oven and stove are dusted off and actually used.

3. My favorite hausfrau robe comes out of hiding

4.  Anti-frizz hair lotions, oils, cremes and a flat iron work their way to the BACK of the bathroom closet.

I love the fall. I love being in a state of semi-hibernation. I love sweaters, down blankets, hot, hearty meals, boots, football, Halloween, double digits shopping days till Christmas and earlier sunsets.

On a side note, congratulations to the Knox family on bring their ‘baby’ back home!

    I agree with this post on so many levels. Just blogged about something similar today actually. It’s in the air.

    I’ve missed you! And we can count this as yet another thing we have in common – I adore fall. Love it, love it, love it. The food, the smells, the crisp air and finally sweater weather! Joy!

    Picking out my Uggs for the season. Another great thing I love about fall!

    Hope to be around a little more and get back to writing!

    Me too — the hibernation, I mean. I love robes and slippers and sweats and jammies and all of it! Yay!

    PS. I tried to come over last night and for some reason, it would not load your blog post. I tried at least 10 times before giving up. I’m glad it’s working today.
