Fall Equinox...

Last Tuesday, September 22nd (at 5:19 am ET, to be exact)... my favorite season officially began... FALL! However, I am a beginning to think that maybe our small, southern-part of the northern hemisphere, somehow missed the equinoctial memo.... ? With temps ranging the upper 90's... this sweltering heat is certainly not feeling like the Fall I remember from our visits up north! ~ Thankfully, I have come to learn over the years, that Fall is about much more than glorious, crisp, cool weather, the change of outdoor color or the bonfires I adore.... with all the beautiful sights/colors (there are hints, everywhere you turn), smells, tastes (pumpkin!), and delights of the season... it's all around... Fall is here!!

:: A few of my favorite things ::

• :: my fall themed wallpaper of crisp, colorful fall leaves...
