Why I Love the Weekend / An Ode to Fall

I love the weekend. It’s just better in every way than the week. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have to go to work or if it’s because everything seems calmer and quieter. This weekend it has cooled down considerably, making it much more fun to snuggle in bed for an extra hour, wear socks around the house and cook up something warm and savory. I think I love the weekends because you don’t have to make the bed.. you don’t actually have to get dressed… you don’t have to be anywhere.. the cats sun in the window… need I say more?

The fall is upon us and so are warm days and cool nights. Hot tea and an extra piece of toast. Walking on dried leaves and the smell of summer packed sweaters. Fixing up the house and checking the heat vents for holes. Thinking about the stray cat and where he will sleep this winter. Fall festivals, pumpkins and walks in the park. I love fall.
