fall has arrived....

well folks... fall has officially arrived
a walk through of a retail store
shows quite a bit of evidence of this




spice and cinnamon scented candles
invade your nose as soon as you walk in





colorful and soft woven scarves
are begging to wrap around your neck







Halloween fabrics are everywhere
from costumes for the kiddies to kitchen towels





and my favorite.... rain gear piled high on shelves



yup... it's here, the weather is changing, the smells and colors around are changing, and so are we.... looking forward to cozy corners, comforted by soft blankets, hot tea and the crackle of the firewood.... enjoy the change of the season... as this too will pass quickly and take us into the winter, as we will no doubt be yearning for the warmth of summer once again.... and the cycle will begin all over .....


love....peace....joy....

by the way all the images above were taken with my little baby cannon :))) not bad huh??

  1. Love your photos! Yes Fall has sure arrived here too. I am starting to pack things away as we leave for Yuma Arizona mid October and come back here for Spring and Summer.

  3. I've always wanted rain boots. I've been eying them for several seasons... And isn't it funny how we're always wishing and waiting for the next season. I need to learn to stop and enjoy "now"

  9. i' not sure wheter I am ready for fall as our few summer days went by so incredibly fast, I wore just a tiny fraction of my summer t-shirts and had to keep to my fleece jackets, sniff sniff. but I am spending those blessed late summer days in a gorgeous place and won't be back to Ireland till Tuesday. so I might be ready for fall by then!
