The 'ber Months

Happy Thursday my lovelies!

We are officially entering the 'ber' months and it's no secret, this is my favorite time of year!

I'll admit that my long, hot summer was relaxing to say the least but my heart is happiest when morning coffee is enjoyed in the hot tub rather than poolside.

The humming sound of the hot tub jets pushing the warm water around the ceramic enclosure.... I placed my mug of coffee in one of the many cup holders and brace myself for the steamy hot water which would soon be swirling around my body.

Memories in this very hot tub flood my mind...nights under the stars seemed like scenes from a romantic movie. Seriously those stars were picturesque!

The crisp morning air surrounds me reminding me that September is almost here!

I plunge into the water...the heat stings at first ... my body adjusts...I begin to relax.

The 'ber' months are my favorite...I was even married in September...licensed in October and revoked in December. Yes, my life happens most during the 'ber' months.

My obsession started as a kid...the 'ber' months meant Thanksgiving at camp where my grandmother and I would make paper turkeys out of our hands and collect colorful leaves..

Thanksgiving also meant my grandmother's blueberry cheesecake....I miss her. I don't know that she'd be proud of the woman I've become but I do know she'd love me unconditionally regardless of who I am.

Today I think of warm sweaters, bon fires and carved pumpkins illuminating the traditional orange glow that screams 'Halloween' from every porch.

I think of horror movies, pumpkin and apple pie and my all time favorite, the pumpkin patch! One can think of no better day than packing up the dogs into the Bronco and driving out to take pictures among the beautiful, orange pumpkins scattered above the color leaves.

I'm sure I'll blog all about the Fall as we slip through it but for now, enjoy the change in seasons and love each day!

XOXO
