wonderFALL

This is my favorite time of year for a number of different reasons... top of the list are birthdays, candy corn, and pumpkin yogurt at TCBY. I also love the lighting, the colors, and sleeping with our windows open / not using our AC. Despite the allergy-induced hacking that I am plagued with at the moment, we have had a very pleasant fall thus far.

Here are some of the highlights...

Beautiful birthday flowers from Garden District

before birthday dinner at Restaurant Iris...
(love it even more now that I have tasted their Brussels sprouts salad with Benton's bacon)
My fall centerpiece... which I have almost completely eaten.
I would find a way to use candy corn in my decor...

A wonderful trip to Santa Rosa Beach with my family over fall break.

Last, but not least...
the AWESOME light blue pumpkin I purchased at the farmers market.
I can't stop looking at it. It even matches the dusty blue/green accents of our apartment. Apparently this Australian Blue variety tastes delicious. I probably won't be able to part with it till Christmas so it may or may not get cooked.

Other notable fall-ish things we are enjoying:
Gibson's pumpkin spice doughnuts
freshly baked pumpkin bread
football (...starting to like it)
roasted root vegetables
lighting spicy scented candles
Essie's fall nail polish line (try "Sew Psyched")
crisp walks on the Memphis Greenline with my besties
