{outside my window}

it is a rainy and cool fall day.  the leaves are soggy and trampled.

but they glisten ever so slightly as the sun tries to make an impression through the clouds

{i am thinking}

it is a great day to be alive. 

an elementary thought, for sure, but it was all that came into my mind as i sipped my coffee at the kitchen window

{i am thankful for}

my sister. it is her birthday today. i wonder what her day has in store?  i wonder if she will feel overwhelmed by the affection people feel towards her.  she is well loved.

{from the kitchen}

molasses cookie dough is chilling in the fridge.

it seems to be the perfect day for those. the oven is warming up and it is about to get delicious.

{i am going}

on a date tonight. 

we are trying a new place. i always worry that we will run out of things to say to each other {for real} but that has not happened yet. ever.

{around the house}

are piles and bins of things that need to be put away.  i think i would rather write letters.

{a message to my readers}

happy fall season to you and yours!
