Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.  ~George Eliot

i can't believe that it's about that time again

that time for me to blog in bed amid a pile of mounded quilts and goose-down pillows, to see a puff of fog in the air when i take that first rich inhale of morning breath.

i love these mornings. these autumn mornings that have turned from sweltering to shivering in a matter of two days.

and i could not be more entranced.

it's time for gorgeous existence.

it's mocha autumn. 

it's pumpkin spice and colours turning from green to golden reds.

it's oversized Perdue and Life Action hoodies, fluffy blue socks that never touch my feet save during these simple months.

it's curling up by bonfires with friends and sleeping bags and counting stars on our backs. it's remembering moments of rising sparks and cell phone messages from 2007 that i kept and listen to time and again.

it's Gilmore Girls. Grey's Anatomy. 


it's my final 17 days before my utmost maturity point must be reached.

it's apple cider 

and apple orchards 

and apple cider donuts

it's all things apple and spicy. 

i love autumn. it's finally here after taking so long. 

it's time for perfect mocha cocoa.

it's time for September.  

welcome back, autumn. i missed you.  

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.  ~Albert Camus
