And Just Like That, Fall Is Here

It feels like fall has really permeated everything now.

 As I was driving along one day, I suddenly noticed that the spots of color here and there have become entirely golden trees. It seemed like just a day later all of the hints of orange, coppery reds, and browns pushed  the remaining green away to scattered spots.

The a/c has been off for a while now. I've even had nights where I've had to shut windows from being too chilly. The mornings are crisp, and the air has taken on that subtly sweet scent that comes with fallen leaves.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me assure you that a tiny dog shivering is very dramatic. Squirt was definitely shivering this morning in the apartment. I had to put on one of his little doggy sweaters so he didn't turn into a Squirtsicle. [Can't imagine what it'll be like when the poor thing has to deal with the snow again for the first time if he's already started to get so cold...but I sense it'll make for some post material.]

"Look at him. Treats and snoozin', snoozin' and treats, that's all he cares about."*

Fall scents like pumpkin-y spiced things have become the candles of choice in my apartment, and my fall smell is in the Scentsy warmer.

Pants and long sleeves are getting comfier by the day.

Sleeping under the covers is no longer optional.

Yes, it's fall...the time of some of my favorite things -- aside, of course, from a shivering pup.

I feel like fall just randomly appeared here too! Last week it was still like 80 degrees, and the last couple of days it's been nice and chilly and I'm noticing colorful tress. YAY!!!!!! And I have to put a sweater on my dog too. Bandit gets super cold.
