feeling autumnal...


tomorrow marks the first day of fall, and every inch of me is feeling autumnal. i'm personally looking forward to seeing the green trees turn to orange, the days grow a little shorter, and the general coziness that comes with the regularly bad weather. and my crockpot. my poor, abandoned crockpot has sat unloved since late last winter. i think i'll make use of it this weekend. my arsenal of favorite recipes will need to be shaken up a bit, as i trade my favorite cilantro-laden summery mexican dishes for more comforting, hearty soups and casseroles. fall decorations will make their way into my livingroom and settle in until after Thanksgiving. and a trip to the pumpkin patch will happen in early october for no good reason other than the need to photograph my favorite fall colors.

it does seem the weather is a bit early though. the last couple of days have been spitting rain, and today's climate even included winds that shook the lamp-posts. this is what autumn is all about for me - the coziness on the inside while the weather does it's "thing" on the outside. i say, bring it on!
