The feeling of Autumn.

 
Beautiful evening sky
 
 
Lemon bread
 
Sugar/olive oil scrub
 
The nights are cooler, and we seem to enjoy more time out on the porch. Evenings are spent in the kitchen with our back sliding door open so the gentle breeze can make its way in while we prepare dinner. Over the weekend, we enjoyed a nice bike ride. It's been something our daughter has wanted to do since we had taken her on her first one a week or so ago. I really enjoyed the view of the mountains, and just being out enjoying the fresh air. The evenings here in Colorado are really starting to feel like Autumn. 

Over the weekend my husband made his delicious chocolate coffee truffles. (I've made sure to do portion control, it's just so good! I also baked some lemon bread. (The kind you find at Starbucks.) I set out on a mission to find a recipe that was similar and finally came across one. I was thrilled, and had to bake some. :)

This weekend I've been enjoying the nice scent of cinnamon apples. Since it was starting to feel like Autumn in the evening I started burning my candles. I also enjoy using our tiny crock pot and placing cinnamon sticks, orange peels, etc. Just plug it in, and your home will smell absolutely wonderful.

I've been going through a few of my bins to gather a  few of my Fall decorations, can you tell I'm excited? I'm pretty sure you are too. :) I'm also patiently awaiting the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte to make its way back to Starbucks. (I'll probably try finding a nice recipe for pumpkin spice creamer). Oh, the joys of Autumn!

This weekend, I also put together a sugar/olive oil scrub and soaked my feet for a few. My husband is always telling me to take some time and do something I enjoy. So I soaked my feet and checked up on the latest news. It was very relaxing. My feet were in desperate need of this, since the day before I participated in some step aerobics. (It's Monday and my legs are still sore from the Step and the bike ride.)

So how did you spend your weekend? Is it starting to feel like falling over where you live? I'd like to say hello to my newest readers, and Google + followers. I'm thrilled to have you on this journey with me. Enjoy~

    that lemon bread looks delicious! Our weather here in central florida is like we are still in summer. Hoping it would cool down soon but that won't happen until late oct/nov.

    I'm so excited for fall. The summer is so long around here. I've decorated (I don't have much just a few things I like to put out) and I'm definitely feeling the fall spirit now. :)

    Maritza, thank you! It turned out so good this time around. I found a completely new recipe for it on pinterest. :) Oh I bet you can't wait for the weather to cool down.

    Jennifer, same here I don't have a whole lot that I put out for fall. Just a few things. I'm in the fall spirit as well! :)

    Loved the pictures. I am a four season girl. I love all the seasons for different reasons, but I'm always ready for whichever one is next. Even winter!

    Angela, thank you! That's wonderful, you know I moved here to Co, from Arizona, and so I think I am better off with the cooler weather. (But not the snow) lol
