1. No. Absolutely not. I absolutely will not reference pumpkin spice anything in this post.
2. I’m beginning to doubt I’ll ever fully de-sweat my summer t-shirts.
3. The urge to wear jeans is a memory so faint I barely recall how it feels.
4. The thought of enjoying that time right before sunset without being devoured by mosquitos is enough to make me yearn for a glass of wine on the deck. Yearning is okay. Not having to yearn is even better.
5. Socks sound like they might feel good again.
6. Slippers, too. Mmm…
7. I miss wearing my boots.
8. Now I can’t stop thinking about all my comfort clothing. Sweatshirts, sweatpants, fluffy socks, that really soft long sleeve shirt that’s perfectly broken in – all things that are firmly off my Yes list during the summer.
9. While I don’t really do s’mores anymore and I can’t stand in a bonfire’s smoke without bloodshot eyes for days, I do actually love the smell of those fires. Just from a distance.
10. Coffee (regular old coffee, not to be confused with anything that may or may not resemble a trendy flavored coffeehouse drink) not only tastes good but it has a comforting warmth to it.
Come on up to WI for a visit. We’re firmly in fall and heading straight towards the “W” word here. The dirty word that starts with an “s” and ends with a “w” has been mentioned for this weekend. 🤮

What?! We won’t have to think about the s word until at least end of December…I don’t know that my brain would even switch to that mode right now. 😆

Haha…I just want a nice Fall. It’s been fairly rainy mixed with some really hot days. I just want low 60’s jeans and sweater weather for a couple months. Instead it’s supposed to be in the 30’s tonight.

Yeah. I feel ya. I think the one thing I’m not ready for yet is the clothes. I was pretty sick of sweaters, jeans, and boots, because that was through May this year… I am ready for the soups and stews and firepit nights.

Oh gracious, no, we were out of jeans by April. Maybe March, I’ve kind of blocked the heat wave out, it’s the only way I’m still making it through this sweat-fest of a summer. And I’d rather eat cauliflower than put on any of those jeans right now…but I sure do remember the “ahhh, I forgot how much I love these!” feeling in the fall. 😉

Agreed. I think I may be one of the last people on the planet who *hasn’t* tried anything pumpkin spiced…

Well I don’t think the stuff they sell at Starbucks is all that it’s hyped to be.

Yes yes. I think I’m getting there. Nice chunky soups are starting to sound good too.

Indeed! I heated up a clam chowder the other week — definitely not my typical summer fare. 😆
