to get me in the mood

last year fall was a little bit of a let down.  but i can sometimes be hard to please, season wise..  we still had fun, but hopefully mother nature doesnt diappoint this year.

the leaves rustling. the briskness in the air. the pumpkins. the smells.  the festivals with the neice and nephew.  the costumes at halloween (i might even dress up this year!). apple cider. thanksgiving.  corn mazes. hay rides. and more.  just talking about it makes me excited. 

speaking of cider; does anyone have a good cider recipe?? i'm thinking this year i should attempt my own for pumpkin carving night.  it would be a fantastic addition to our little tradition. so feel free to share!


i also hope to be more active with my blog now that we're married and we are a little family (cats included!).  taza has been such a inspiration to be a better blogger.  as silly as it sounds, i hope that one day our little family blog is as amazing as hers.. so i better get busy with the camera and memories...
