It's finally starting to feel like fall in Portland and I couldn't be happier! Technically, the first "official" day of fall isn't until next Wednesday and apparently this Sunday is supposed to be like 80 degrees smh but, I'd be totally okay if fall started early this year.
When I woke up this morning it was pouring rain. I ended up driving to the office with the radio off just so I could listen to the rain hit my windshield. Call me crazy but I love the fall, especially in Portland. Nothing beats when all the trees around town change colors and you can hear the crunch of fallen leaves under your boots.
I love when the mornings are dark and it's cold and raining outside. It just feels cozy. Like I should be cuddled on the couch binge watching Netflix, drinking warm tea and eating a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. Even on days when I have to go into the office, I love having the heater on full blast under my desk while I work on whatever and drink warm chai. Heavenly.
// Sidebar, I'm totally having tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner tonight. Doesn't that sound good?!
Towards the end of the summer I made an end of summer bucket-list and was actually pretty successful at crossing my summer to-dos off my list. Naturally I decided to make one for the fall as well. This fall I want to:
1. DRINK PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES AND SALTED CARMEL MOCHAS FROM STARBUCKS.
2. WATCH EVERY EPISODE OF THE WALKING DEAD NEW SEASON WHEN IT PREMIERS.
3. GO APPLE PICKING.
4. WATCH HOCUS POCS.
5. BAKE PUMPKIN BREAD.
6. MAKE APPLE CIDER.
7. JUMP IN A PILE OF LEAVES.
8. READ A BOOK BY THE FIREPLACE (OR HEATER SINCE I DON'T HAVE A FIRE PLACE)
9. MAKE CARAMEL APPLES.
10. BURN FALL THEMED CANDLES.
11. GO TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH.
12. GET LOST IN A CORN MAZE.
13. EAT CORN ON THE COB.

What I'm wearing:
Um, my list includes getting a military-style jacket like that. Cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love it! It'll definitely be getting a lot of good use this fall! :)
DeleteMake mulled wine! Wear skirts and boots together. Read for hours as it pours down rain. Peppermint schnapps with hot chocolate...I could go on. Fall is my favorite, too!
ReplyDeleteOh! Those are good ones...especially the reading for hours while it rains. I haven't had a moment to actually sit down and read in a long time. Hot chocolate sounds good too!
DeleteMake apple butter, pumpkin bread and scones, and go on more fall hikes! :) This time of year is so pretty.
