bring on the fall weather

Today was my favorite kind of day. What I remember as a "typical" fall day when I was a kid. Something I don't get as much of in October since moving to the south. I knew it was cold out when I woke up this morning and heard the furnace kick on. I knew it was going to get in the 40s last night so I was sure to set it before I went to bed just in case. Didn't want to wake up to a freezing house!! 

And we got to kick off the chilly weather with a good 'ol fire in the fireplace.

Oh how I love to have a fire going on a chilly day. We had multiple cups of hot chocolate, stayed in our pj's for most of the day, cooked a ham in the crock pot and enjoyed this wonderful fall day. 

Unfortunately it probably won't last long. I just looked at the forecast for next week and we'll be getting back in the 70s. Hopefully a cold front will move in and push that warm air away. Fall is my favorite time of year and I want it to stay!!!
