The return of Autumn

It's arrived. My favorite time of year. The changing colors, the rituals I participate in. Wearing warmer pajamas. I love the Autumn and everything it comes with. Cardigan sweaters, tights, whipping out the crock pot and slow cooking warm heartiness for my littles and I. Today I strolled into Starbucks and treated myself to a pumpkin spice latte. It was the yum. Now I'm up late paying for this autumn ritual as I have not consumed coffee much since the second week of June. My littles are in school and growing up quickly. All is kinda alright at our little nest.
