it's beginning to look a lot like fall

yesterday at 5:18pm {to be exact} was the september equinox and official beginning of fall.

I LOVE FALL
this is my absolute favorite time of year. i'm already thinking and feeling sad that i've only got one more of this beautiful season in ohio to go. there is something so majestic about the changing foliage. i also love the crispness in the air, the pumpkins, the apples, the soccer games, the festivals, the clambakes, and the smells in the air. i love the smell of the wood burning as people begin to start using their fireplaces...and i love the glow and warmth of my fireplace in my home.
so to celebrate this wonderful occasion, we made changes in our own home.

change is in the air
here are the first signs of fall... the view out of my back window.

the tree in my side yard that first starts out red then goes to orange and then yellow.

pumpkins on my mantel

i made this pumpkin at a church activity with corinne (my sis-in-law) the first year we were married and living in utah.

a cozy new quilt
i started piecing together this orange & white quilt to keep us cozy and warm during the fall. i got the idea {here}.

sweet cinnamon pumpkin
i plugged these babies from bath & body works in all over my home...it smells delish!

HAPPY FALL
