Four nights of crappy sleep. Sunday-Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday. Thursday afternoon I find myself doing something I NEVER allow myself to do. I stop at Starbucks for a coffee so that I can make it through the rest of the day. Yes, caffeine in the afternoon is a bit counter-productive. But it was either that or snooze at my desk, especially with the September heat beating me down.
When I got there, I was excited to discover that their pumpkin line is in! My favorite time of year has arrived: Autumn. So a cinnamon iced coffee and a pumpkin scone and I'm ready to take on the afternoon. And because I am attempting to still behave, it's a small coffee, and half of the scone. Almost a year after my weight loss classes at the hospital, and I'm still surprised sometimes by the fact that a small anything is enough. But it is. And now I have half a pumpkin scone to look forward tomorrow.
Overnight, a cold front moves in, and it is the perfect sleeping weather. Everyone sleeps through the night with no trouble, and it is a good day. Hello, Autumn.
To celebrate, we're going apple picking this weekend. Bring on Applefest!

Isn't fall great? We've been apple picking as well. And cooking, canning, baking and drying.
And I'm trying to finish the knitting and crocheting projects before Christmas!
