Just around the bend.....



i am so thankful 
to live in a part of the country where
we get to enjoy four seasons

granted
that fourth season
gets a little long

cold

hard on the heating bill

but now that
summer is dwindling
fading into fall

(and though i think
every season is my favorite
until the next one comes along)

autumn is on the horizon



soon
leaves will fall
hazy afternoons
will turn into
crisp twilights

we'll haul out
those extra layers
of cozy clothing

sweaters



jackets



i just wanted to share
a little bit of autumn with you

Country Living


Paris Vogue



this is what the hubs and i
look like
dancing gaily
through autumn fields of
whatever it is
these two lovlies are tripping through

(just kidding)
Teen Vogue




can't wait to visit our local
pumpkin patch
and pick a peck

Vogue


it'll be here before we know it


what's your favorite season?

  2. Last night a cool front blew through here and gave a breath of relief from a couple of weeks of cruel summer heat. Autumn is on its way, the breeze seems to whisper. I am very ready for fall jackets, sweaters, scarves... I think my favorite is the in-between, the hint of change from one season to the next.

  4. i love the fall. winter is close behind. summer next, and then spring. spring would be 3rd but my allergies are horrendous in the spring. i am not a fan of heat and humidity (we moved up from SC to get AWAY from it.) ha ha.

    i love that you and Chad (in your spare time) find time to prance through empty fields. i know where to find you now. :) grin.

  8. I love Fall with all the colors, smells and good food! My favorite weather is the kind where I can wear jeans, a sweatshirt and flip flops!

  9. Thanks for the "fall is coming eye-opener" :) As much as I LOVE summer, I kind of have to agree with what you said, "every season is my favorite until the next one comes along". Great shots!

  10. The first shot is a photo escape! Beautiful colors and the chairs~ fabulous. Neat post... I like how you tied it all together.

    I love Anne of Green Gables and can't figure out why my two sons aren't interested in reading their mom's childhood favorites... maybe a granddaughter some day.

  11. Ohhhhhh - I am SOOOO right there with you. Autumn is my FAVORITE season and what GREAT photos! As I just wrote at SandwichINK, I have already started to think about fun fall activities for our grand kids, such as making scarecrows, and thinking of ways The Sunflower House could "join" in the fun! HOORAY! And thank you for such a delightful "autumn" visit. :)

  13. Okay, Okay, OKAY! You made me realize that maybe I can, in fact, handle the close of Summer. Thanks for that. :)

  16. It's sounding like Autumn is the hands-down winner! I have to agree...at least until Winter arrives...then Spring...oh crap. I stink at decisions!

    Thanks for the comments girls! (Now where is my big sweater box??)

  17. Dear Alison,
    my favorite season is whichever one involves you wearing those hats in the fashion photos, especially the first hat.

    I love this post, and the photo of you and your husband was HILARIOUS!
