It's not quite fall here in Mississippi, but there are signs that cooler weather is definitely on its way. The early mornings are chilly (thanks to the pupster for getting me up at the crack of dawn!), leaves are noticeably changing and football season is in full swing. Needless to say, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to so many things. Here are a few of my favorites:
Steaming bowls of soup on a cold day.

Halloween decorations.

Front door Halloween decorations is my new obsession. I love all holidays (yes folks, I actually buy into Valentine's Day) and for the first time ever this year I am planning for trick-or-treaters! Growing up on an unpaved street with a fenced-in yard full of dogs was not conducive to little witches and skeletons and the like, so we always went to my grandmother's for seasonal festivites. So expect to see some Halloween decor posts in October!
I also love:
Those crazy pumpkin leaf bags.
And dogs in costume, of course!

We're torn between dressing Sawyer in a hot dog outfit like this cute pup (but for some reason I am unwilling to choose between mustard and ketchup and I cannot rationally explain this), a doctor's scrubs (Target thinks of everything) or a Hawaiian shirt and lei. I'll keep you posted!
What's your favorite part of fall? Do you dress up your pets? My friend Willow dressed up her hermit crab as a witch once, and if I'm not mistaken, she won a prize. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)
i cannot wait to get to tennessee and have a fall!!! also, i must say, that article you posted about ole miss (on fb)- my favorite line was when he said "ahhh, bourbon and chanel no. 5, my favorite smells." it's true, when i smell bourbon, especially in the morning, it reminds me of ole miss football and the fall. mmmm. heaven.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone else loves all holidays as much as I do.. I don't discriminate! Every time it's July 4th, Halloween, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, what have you, I have been known to say "No but really, this is my favorite holiday EVER." St. Patty's Day too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love fall! I love love Halloween (I think partially because its the day before my birthday). I plan to make Halloween themed goodies, as well as discuss Halloween decorating on my blog too! I want to dress up this year! I don't know what Buddy will be. I shall have to think about it. I can't wait to wear boots!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sanford won "Most unique pet." (Like wtf, doesn't even acknowledge the difficulty of dressing up a hermit crab. J/k.) I just glued a witch hat to her shell and put some Halloween stuff in her travel cage.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I decided I want a pet pig. This probably never will happen, but S did ask me if I'd dress up my pig. I said no, as it'd detract from his pigness. Animals are awesome because they don't wear clothes. Maybe a bow or (if he liked it) a winter sweater. And definitely wings for Halloween.
I love Fall...the crunchy colorful leaves, pumpkins, pie, squash, candy corn, my birthday, halloween, coziness....it's all great!! Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks sooooooo good. I'd like some NOW.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parts of fall are when the leaves change color and the air is crisp enough to wear scarves. Oh, how I love scarves!
ReplyDeleteMmmm yes chai tea, soup, boots, love it all!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am always sad to see summer go, but I do have this new pair of grey boots I am looking forward to debuting. Oh, and pumpkin anything.
ReplyDeleteI heart fall! Riding boots and Pumpkin Spice Lattes!
