4 days til FALL

So I have been so excited about fall starting. For once we're not stinking hot in our apartment, the heat has FINALLY broken and I wore a jacket yesterday to work. I can't wait to wear sweatshirts, layers and boots. Fall means football, crisp mornings, halloween costumes, the red mountain sides and chili. Plus its time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays which of course means baking and decorating. Steve and I walked to Barnes and Noble on Tuesday and I practically devoured the new Martha Holiday Issue of Good and Bad Things for more on that go here. I was giddy with excitement and last night I did the first of my traditional baking, pumpkin bread. My mom has the BEST recipe for it, find it here. Yum. I always make a triple batch and one loaf with chocolate chips-this time I used the Nestle Mini Chips and they were perfect. You bet I'm eating it for breakfast.

Also in celebration of fall I'm wearing my favorite orange shirt.
And I painted these pretty fall foliage trees. I don't know who doesn't just love fall.
