Feeling Fall

By
Yesterday morning, I stepped outside my front door, and for the first time in months, the air felt cool. Not cool, by most of your standards, but refreshing and crisp, and several degrees cooler than the temperature inside the house (82 degrees). If you don’t live in an inferno like Arizona, you may not be able to understand the marvelous feeling that occurs when the weather starts to cool down ever-so-slightly, and hope returns that this will be a pleasant place to hang out for the next few months. It makes me want to spruce up my outdoor spaces, so we can spend more time there, and it actually FEELS appropriate to start blogging about all things fall. (We just try and forget that we are still at or near triple digits during the day).
For the story behind my “Welcome pumpkins” pictured above, go here.
If you are throwing a baby shower with in the next couple of months. You might want to consider my “‘Lil Pumpkin” theme explained in more detail, here.

And for a yummy fall breakfast, you’ve got to try my friend, Trish’s Pumpkin Waffles with Buttermilk syrup. My write-up is here. Her recipe is here.
What gets you in the mood for fall? Any favorite fall recipes or rituals?
Btw, I had planned to do a series of posts detailing all of my behind-the-scenes work at the pirate party and all of the things I made (flags, pinata, ship mast, cake, etc.), but I think you may all be pirated out. If there is anything from the party that you would like more info about, be sure and leave a comment, and I will write it up! Thanks so much!
