We went from hot to cold, but I'm so happy for Fall y'all!! My car says 48 degrees currently and finally able to wear a sweater this week! Looks like it will be chilly for Friday night football tomorrow night too! Welcome October!

Today is the last day of September. Here in the Piedmont triad of NC we've had such hot hot weather! It was in the mid 90s this past weekend! It's hard to get excited about fall clothes, fall home decor and pumpkin flavored everything when it's above 90 degrees, at least for me. Now if you live in the hotter parts of the US that may be more normal for your fall.
I'm so looking forward to it cooling down a bit! I'm not in any hurry for winter but I look forward to it being below 80 degrees!
What about you? I love fall pumpkins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin spice drinks, hiking in the fall, colorful leaves, going to the pumpkin patch and so much more!
What do you look forward to in the fall?
Oh, and these pretty pumpkins I took a picture of were at #traderjoes

Happy first day of fall y'all! I don't know about you but I'm ready for some cooler fall weather!
Have you tried Dixie Belle Paint Company Moonshine Metallics or the Patina Paint? Such cool effects! This was a combo of their Patina paint in Copper with green spray and a light brushing of Moonshine Metallics Steel Magnolias. Just a fun little project! I did a blog post on Patina paints on glass but to do Patina on non-glass it's the same just may not need to add the Slick Stick Primer if your surface isn't slick. These were little Dollar Tree styrofoam pumpkins.

It's been a busy week of early mornings getting everyone back on the school schedules. Why our county thinks middle schoolers need to start at 7:20 I just don't understand!
Needed a little caffeine pick-me-up this evening so I tried the Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew coffee. Let me tell you it was delicious! If you like the PSL but think the taste is a little strong you may love this! That wonderful frothy creamy stuff on the top is just heavenly! A sweet creamy pumpkin taste but not heavy or too spicy!
Hello Fall! Hello Pumpkin everything season! #starbucks #pumpkinspice #hellofall
