I love your lists and this one doesn't disappoint. It inspires me to think more about Autumn and prepare for beautiful leaf filled days.

Kirsten Steen said...

Always love your lists and love that you're doing a swap. If I can manage it, I'll sign up! Hope summer was good to you. And what's 'Indian Summer'?

Amy said...

Sounds like a perfect autumn to me! And I love the way your list resembles something of an acorn! :)

Tracy said...

Oh, this is a sweet list for autumn. I'm planning on a good clear out and rearrange of closets & cupboards next week. Need to put away summer clothes here and get out fall/winter-wear. Little Women (the 1994 one, with Winona Ryder) is my fall film of choice. As the story begins close to Christmas, it always puts me in a frame of mind to embrace the new season. I baked a streusel coffee cake this morning--extra cinnamon! ;o) Happy Days, my friend ((BIG HUGS))

I know I always say this because I love your lists. However, somehow after reading yours, my list gets a lot longer!

Great list! (And thanks to Tracy for the excellent reminder of Little Women.) I wish you a very happy start to autumn, Relyn.

What a wonderful list and beautiful photo.
I was out running errands yesterday and at a doorway shop they had a huge basket full of cinnamon pinecones. It took me right into autumn. I could smell it all day long. Mmm . . . a spicy sweetness. Next time I will buy some to take home.

I feel like I just walked through a pile of autumn leaves with a sweet breeze blowing and lots of time to spare.
Thanks

Oooh, these are good suggestions for Fall. I looked up Dancing at the Harvest Moon online and it looks like a good read under a warm blanket on a cold night. I'm going to look up Indian Summer in a moment. Thanks for the suggestions, Relyn!

Anything to do with cinnamon and apples gets my vote :) And a picnic - I hope you have blue skies and wonderful cool weather for that.

Love your list, Relyn! Wish I could do a couple of those items with you! Think I need to make a list for myself, too. This weekend, apple-picking and closet organizing will be at the top of my to-do's!

What a joy to be visiting you this afternoon. Thanks for always being such an inspiration, my friend. You are the best. xoxo Gigi

I just made some apple crisp this evening!
I put some pear in it for the very first time.
I think it will be the last.
Not so crazy about the pear.

Oldies, but Goodies
