Signs of Autumn

Just this week I've noticed those tell tale signs that the warm weather is gone and autumn is here!

• I'm snuggled deeper down in my bed when I wake up. The bedroom feels chilly when I sit up to have my coffee, especially if we left the window cracked open a wee bit.
• It's too cold to putter around the house in my bare feet! I've been digging into my sock drawer! When winter comes, the socks won't be enough and I'll be digging out my slippers!
• I drink the whole pot of coffee hot instead of pouring it over ice half way through the morning.
• I've had my fill of potato salad and zucchini. Comfort foods like mashed potatoes, apple crisp and beef stew are sounding good!
• No more ice in my water! Brrr!
• The after dinner bowl of icecream has been replaced by a mug of hot earl grey.
• I find myself wrapping my hands around my mug to warm them up!
• The windows and doors are open in the afternoon to let in a nice, comfortable breeze.
• No A/C in the Jeep....just the open sunroof to make it comfortable.
• We're using the throws on the back of the couches again.
• Big rolls of hay are laying in the fields.
• The skies seem bluer.
• The butterflies are gone!
• The trees are turning red and orange.
• Banana bread has been replaced by pumpkin.
• Shorts have been replaced by jeans.
• Nugget stopped shedding!
• I'm already feeling the need for hand lotion!

So what about you? Any other signs that the seasons have changed?

Fall is my favorite! Happy October to you!
