Goodbye, faux Fall!

Oh, October, how I adore you! You made no apologies as you stepped up and delivered some for-real cold air...all the way to the Gulf Coast region! Air off, windows up, power bill down, and not a moment too soon.

I'm enjoying sitting here tonight, blogging away, with the wide windows up and feeling that cold breeze brush against my arms, legs and feet. It has a distinct smell that conjures up some wonderful memories of Falls past. I met my sweetheart-turned-husband in the fall of the year, that being my all-time favorite. ♥

I've had a busy weekend and have a busy week ahead of me, but I'm smiling.
The unfolding of my dressmaking plans has my creative juices flowing and those of you who know me best know that's what makes me tick. I'm embracing everything that's coming my way right now, and believe with a full heart that it's a plan designed just for me. I feel a bit like I've stumbled onto another of life's little secrets to being happy. Love what you are where you are.

I can't wait for the first night we build a fire and get to enjoy the smells and sounds it makes. For all the modern amenities I've gotten used to, I really think I could not only handle, but enjoy living in a simple cabin in the woods. No outside distractions, just quiet so quiet that you can hear it. But, alas, you would miss my blog. And I would miss my sewing machine. How long do they make extension cords, anyway?
