I LOVE OCTOBER.

The leaves are beautiful and crunchy.

The air is crisp.

Cozy sweaters make their way to the front of the closet.

Boot boxes are dusted off.

Chili makes a come back.

Tomato soup tastes extra delicious.

The fireplace crackles.

Pumpkins are carved.

And for our family...October is full of birthdays, which means lots of getting together to celebrate. 

We celebrated my birthday, my MIL's birthday, my oldest SIL's birthday, and my youngest SIL's birthday.  We dined out, cooked out, dined in, carved pumpkins, and enjoyed plenty of birthday cake.

Here's a glimpse into our October...

 

We also found time to get acquainted with our kitchen...

And dress the fur kids in their Halloween costumes...

And get to know our neighbors a little better.  They have brought us dinner, wine, and just this week lemons with a sweet note...

Now, for a few October finds:

Angry Orchard Hard Cider

Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts

International Delight Southern Butter Pecan Creamer
