loving fall



The weather has been gorgeous.  Sunny, breezy, cool...perfect.  And we've been loving every minute of it!

Today it turned cold with clouds and rain, and we almost lit up the woodstove with our first fire of the season...almost.  I'm ready to bundle up in wool sweaters and blankets and hot cocoa...and stare at the blaze in the stove.

But until it's bitter cold out there, I'm sending the little ones out all day, to soak up every last ounce of that blazing autumn sunshine.  We're harvesting what's left of our summer garden, and watching the pumpkins and squash ripen in their glory.  We attended a session of General Conference in Salt Lake City and felt so inspired by the speakers and the array of good people gathering there.  We've been busy with out of town visitors, drives up the canyon to see the leaves change color, taking care of my dear mom who underwent knee surgery, and planning a fall weekend getaway.  And lots more.

Busy, bustling fall.  How I love you!!

Which one did you attend?! We were up there with the grandparents and went to the Sat afternoon session - I'll be sad/happy if we were in the same room and didn't see each other! I thought of you as I attended a session at the Draper temple - aren't you just right there close? Love to you and yours.

Hi Tricia! I actually just found your blog today because someone pinned your beautiful kitchen and I followed the link. I absolutely love your design aesthetic (how you mix old with new, especially), and I think your house really exudes comfort! Happy to be following along! :)
