can you feel it?

there's a little crisp to the air this weekend.

Enough that it's got me a little too excited for fall.

Summer has been lovely and 

we've really taken advantage of warm days, 

summer events and outside living.

But this weekend has a crisp that 

has given me the bug...the fall bug.

This morning we went to see my brother-in-law 

at the finish line for the West Valley triathlon.

Getting ready I was digging for sweatshirts, 

long pants and socks for Lucy

(we never found the socks).

We saw Brinton come across the finish line in a 

downpour and we were shivering like a late September

early October morning.

go Brinton!

Lucy made a sign to cheer Brinton on to the finish

After arriving home this morning we've still had lingering 

rain so I couldn't resist opening the windows

to let in the cool and with all of our trees and the dark clouds it 

was cozy enough to light some candles....

mmm fall!

I switched my iced mocha to hot this 

morning and finalized most of Lucy's halloween costume.

Yes, this is our most favorite time of year ~

(except Lucy maybe - yesterday after seeing some 

spooky decorations at Michael's she informed me

"i don't ike hawoween").

Well, we won't jump too far ahead of ourselves.  We still

have this to count down to...

So we'll enjoy some warm, sunny

days ahead and not wish away summer. 

But it's nice to know you're right around 

the corner Fall ~

we'll be waiting...
