Hello Fall! Nice to see you again. You might be my favorite but then I say the same thing when Summer comes around, and Spring.
A few of my fall goals:
- Apple Picking in Mendocino
- Squash soup, squash risotto, spaghetti squash, roasted squash.. you get the point with the squash fetish
- Wine Picnic
- Black polka dot tights like these
- Homemade Apple Cider
- Repaint my kitchen table
- Burlap and Lace photo shoot
- Okay, and maybe cheat on Fall with Christmas projects such as homemade Xmas decorations, Christmas Cards for clients, and our Oliver and Michele Christmas card.
A pumpkin loving dessert was also on the fall to-do list, pumpkin doughnuts, sweet and spice and all that is nice, that is what a pumpkin doughnut is made of.
P.S. Do enjoy these with a warm cup of Jo, or big glass of milk.
