Fall's a-coming.

yummy strawberry popsicles
summer '09

Fall...or ""autumn"", depending on how pretentious you're feeling today...is met with mixed feelings from me this year. Traditionally, the anticipation of pumpkin pie and caramel apples and new notebooks and backpacks have made my knees buckle. I mean, really...New Notebooks?? Oh geez. I.love.new.notebooks. This year, however, I've been enjoying the crap out of summer-time and I'm having difficulty knowing how to look forward to cooler weather and so much more indoor time.

Sniff, sniff.
Maybe I'll just desperately hang onto some of my favorite images of this summer while making the transition into fall? Find my inner-chi while coming to terms with no.more.barefeet.on.grass?
Sniff, sniff.
grassy green park time.

Things to look forward to...in no particular order:
Fall tv is coming back in full swing --yay for 'theOffice' and '30Rock' -- minus a few of my FAVES. Damn you, CW, for canceling 'Privileged'. I have a long list of crafting and baking I want to do. We haven't used the crockpot all summer...chili cook-off? Jamie has an increased "workload" over the next little while aka "fairytale football". He'll be glued to the computer + tv for the next few months. We also have a close friend's wedding to attend in a few weeks up in the northernest part of Northern California - barns!farmlife!tractors! oh my!
does it get more SUMMER! than this?

Follow us as we transition into a series of "savings months" as we prepare for our upcoming wedding. Any assistance or advice in the savings department will be much appreciated. One thing is for certain, our typical travel-llanting (travel+gallivanting) will have to be kept relatively local for awhile. Isn't it advantageous that there are plenty of things to do in our immediate area?

more strawberry popsicle.
oh, that strawberry popsicle.

The Kantahara B&B is officially open for any visitors and surprisingly booking up quickly. Let us know if you're coming into town and want a free place to crash right smack dab in the middle of SF. Needless to say, we'll plan on keeping just as busy even if we're tethered a little bit more to the homestead. Happy Fall, Ya'll.

It's a good thing I became a teacher so that I can justify buying pens at Staples on a Friday night. I used to swindle my way into getting new markers/colored pencils every school year, despite my mother's protests. Loving Hudson with that popsicle. Hmmm. I feel a new background coming on. The students might be tired of Hudson in the shopping cart.

It is so weird how I so often find myself on the same wavelength as you. We must be connected somehow. :)

I was wanting to do a post very similar to this. I love fall...get excited about it every year...but for some reason this year I am having a very difficult time letting go of the summer fun. Thanks for putting it so much more poetically than me.

Great pics too!
