Fall is here!

I loooove this time of year. Today is cold, windy, and the sky is the most amazing shade of blue. This weather puts a little red into your cheeks and that's just one of the many things I love about autumn.

The night before last I got a baking itch. After rummaging in the cabinets I discovered a pie crust mix. Lilly and I took a trip to the apple orchard this past weekend so there was also a bag of apples on my kitchen counter. Apple pie. And it turned out really good. Despite burning my arm as I pulled it out of the oven. I'm only dangerous to myself people.

Last night Jim went to a pre-season Pacers game. (Jim said the team name should be changed to the Indiana Criminals after the recent shooting 'incident'. At a strip club nonetheless. Anyway.) So it was just me and Lilly. I love when it's just us two girls. We read lots of books and then we played with the jewelry Aunt Julie gave her. She put the bracelets on her feet and was terribly amused with herself. She cracks me up. What a funny kid.



I was talking to the husbeast this morning about the leather jacket that was stolen out of the back seat of my car last year in front of my parents house. I was wishing I had it this morning because on days like today, where it's so windy, that jacket totally blocked the wind. I had that jacket for 7 years, it was broken in just right and I loved it. My dad called me this afternoon to tell me that he found my jacket behind the couch in their living room. They are having the kitchen remodeled and were moving furniture and there it was. I was planning to go out next weekend and buy a new one. I was so happy I could have cried. And all this time I thought some punk had stolen it.

With the weather we are having this week I was glad I finished my new scarf. I made a matching scarf and a hat for Lil. She loves it. It's such a change from the child who I could not keep hats on last year.
