Beauty
Warmth
Comfort
Reflection and rest
are just a few of the pleasures one finds
while traveling down autumn’s road.

It’s been a cold, rainy start to the month of October here in Minnesota. Can’t say I haven’t still been thoroughly enjoying it though. After the hot summer, the moisture along with the cooler temps of autmun are a welcome relief to me, and I love the cozy feeling it gives me. 😀
I’ve pretty much had candles lit around the house continuously all week, filling the air with the delicious scents of vanilla, pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, cranberry, and spice. Mmm…
I’ve made up my bed with soft, luscious fleece sheets, put on my fuzzy socks, bundled myself up in comfy flannel, and have been enjoying sipping on various hot drinks. I’ve got the urge to bake something, but so far have just been relaxing. And reflecting.
Gosh, I do so adore this time of year! All my senses are heightened and I’ve got that warm, romantic feeling. ❤
Whatever the weather where you are, may your day be filled with the beauty and comforting pleasures of autumn’s road too. And with…
✿~Peace & Love~✿

Thanks Brad, that photo was taken in the autumn of 2012 and there’s some disagreement between my daughter and I who actually snapped it, as we were sharing a camera (hers) that day, so being unsure, I couldn’t put my name to it. 😉 The colors aren’t quite to that point yet so far this fall, but soon…
And how are you liking the first cool day there? Hope you’re cozying up to it! 😀

No Julie, 🙂 I’m more in shock from a 20 degree temp change and lows in upper 30s tonight. We’ve been 80 day & 60 at night!

This sounds so wonderful. We are going to have temps in the 6o’s tonight and in the 40’s on Monday! 🙂 No flannel sheets for FL, though.. 😦

It is, I’m loving it!
Yikes 40’s down there, is that normal?
Maybe you should order some flannel sheets online and have them shipped express so you’d get them by Monday. 😉

It will be in the 80’s by noon. Go to work in the am with a sweater. Go sleeveless underneath cause you know it’s too early to stay cool. I’ll take it, though!

I love Autumn’s Road, especially that one in the photo! I would love to stroll down that path! I’m glad you’re enjoying the cozy days indoors. We’re having sunny weather here so I’m enjoying the sunny mornings but it still doesn’t feel like candle burning weather yet. Enjoy a warm and cozy weekend!

I really have been enjoying these cozy, rainy days indoors. Of course… I don’t want them to last too long, because I also wanna be outdoors as much as I can during this most beautiful of seasons.

I believe it got down to the low 30’s here last night, I haven’t been out to check my garden yet, but I’m fairly certain most of it will be wilted. It’s okay though, I’m ready to put my garden to rest. 🙂
