Chestnuts

Chestnuts: That's what my friends and I picked yesterday! It was so amazing!
My friends and I got together kinda last minute to go apple picking. Well, our plans kinda changed. We went from the idea of picking apples to strawberries to pumpkins and chestnuts...
The chestnuts was the best part of the day I must say! The pumpkins were pretty intresting... they were kinda the "pumpkin leftovers" from earlier in the season. My mom called it a pumpkin cemetary since a good amount of them were either smashed, rotted, or had bruises and scrapes, haha! My friends found great pumpkins though! The chestnuts were so fun! They are wrapped in a prickly ball that needed to be dropped and cracked open in order to grab the nut in side. Although it's not winter, the whole time I was thinking of and humming "chestnuts roasting on an open fire." It was an awesome experience!

Pumpkins, tights, and a hot vanilla

Today was surely a wonderful day. My mother and I went grocery shopping, where we found the most adorable miniture pumpkins!! They are just so cute! Later today, we went to the mall and I purchased the perfect fall brown tights. :) They will be great to wear with a soft warm scarf. Only if this hot weather would dissapear! What happened with the rain!? :(
After I bought these wonderful tights, I went to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to enjoy a nice hot vanilla. My personal favorite. It was a fantastic night with my mother, with a few of life's simple pleasures. I am so looking forward to the weekend now! :D

Cloudy Fall Day

Today is a nice cloudy fall day. A perfect day for a cup of "true loves kiss tea" for sure. :)

Not much for today. Just enjoying the weather. School work. family. Then making yummy pumpkin bread with fresh whipped cream....that's going to be good!

But for now....Im excited for the rain we are going to have tomorrow. Showers all through the day!!! Can't wait! :)

Psalm 25:5

I was reminded last night, that i have not blogged in a short while by a very sweet friend. Hi, Elizabeth!

I feel as though I have no new news to share with my few readers. This week was a nice simple week. Not much involved.
Although..... I did enjoy a hot cocoa in the midst of friends last night. We went to Barnes & Noble for a last minute get together. And after looking at some very, perculiar books and things, we sat down and talked with cider and cocoa. There is nothing like a book store or even a library. I just love the atmosphere. So..classic and cozy. It's amazing to think of ALL those different books, all different plots and climaxes. Mystery, cheesy romance books, how to books, baby books, teen books. Talking of teen books...my friend and I were completley disturbed at the sound of some of those! What happened! It's just sad to think of tenagers, girls my age, are reading these books and not benefiting from it at all. They are filled of the world's expectations.
Never the less, I had a great time. It's truly been interesting to see how we have changed.

The title of this blog post, I found just recently. I really enjoyed it, and in a way it goes with this post. :)

Yesterday

Yesturday was a great day! We started off at The Coffee Bean, and I got a delicious hot vanilla. One of my favorites. :)
Apple picking was a really fun experience! I was so blessed to enjoy with such wonderful friends also! It was beautiful. Very festive. Apple orchards, of course. Pumkin fields. Very pretty. And also beautiful vinyard looking hills, with just a few raspberries left from July...haha.
Their apple pie was wonderful! And it had an amazingly large scoop of vanilla ice cream covering the slice :)
It was a great afternoon.
Later, my family and I went to a jazz festival. It was really fun. And it was the most beautiful night. I really enjoyed the music and the atmosphere...
It was a fantastic day all together!

Weekend!!

Today is now the beginning of a 3 day weekend. I am so excited about this weekend because I am going apple picking for the very first time! :D It will be very fun!

I am kinda missing my friends back east. I wish I could snap my fingers and be there. If only it were that easy. But, I know that the Lord has the right time for us to travel there. :)
Off to enjoy the weekend now. Have a great one yourself!

Goodbye, September

Well, It is now officially October. September is gone. Bitter sweet, I love September.
October will be filled of blessings. Possibly going back east and visiting family would be a very wonderful blessing! We will see..
I was SO excited the other day! We had our first autumn rain! Well, It was only small sprinkles, but it was amazing. So unexpected, such a nice surprise. Pretty sad that the first day of October is expecting to shoot to the 90's! Although, I am holding on to the fact that we are expecting a cold fall and winter this year. I hope thats true!
Well, on Tuesday, a nice chilly night, my mom and I went grocery shopping and bought gingerbread to make at home. It was the perfect treat to make! Things like that really get you in the holiday spirit. :D

Hello, October!
