Fall, Nat King Cole and Bare Feet

Today just seems really fall-ish. All day at work today (a total of 6 hours) I listened to the Nat King Cole Pandora radio station. All day long I felt the cool breeze blowing through the window from outside... and all day long I thought about fall.
And these are the things that I think of.
  • Nat King Cole/Ella Fitzgerald/Bing Crosby type music
  • Crisp Apples
  • Coffee mugs
  • Pine scented Candles
  • Grass
  • Baking with pumpkin in my kitchen -bare-footed and apron-clad
  • Reading Jane Austin on a quilt in the grass
  • Taking a walk through the woods
  • Sleeping at night with all the windows open - bundled up in my feather blanket
  • Painting... with anything: finger paints, acrylics, water colors, etc.
  • Making hand-painted chocolates
  • Blue silk scarves
  • Old-fashioned cameras
  • Your grandpa's sweater that's too big, but still fits just right
  • Brown toe nail polish
  • Picnics with a best friend
  • Antique shopping
  • Opening all the windows so that the earthy smell from outside will come inside
  • Hippies playing guitars under beutiful old trees
  • Blondies (a type of brownie) chalk full of pecans
  • Hearts carved into trees
  • Clothes lines
  • Hammocks
  • Caramel
  • Campfires
Honestly... this list could go on and on for pages and pages... so I'll just leave it at that and say again how delightfully cheery and fall-ish today has been.
