I got home on Friday - to beautiful Fall New England weather. Crisp, cool, sunny, blue sky - perfect for a bike ride in the woods which we did on Saturday.
How quickly it's gotten cool and fall-like here. Seems like yesterday that it was 90 degrees, and suddenly we have 50's during the night. I love the feeling in the air of pending hibernation, harvest and peaceful snowy nights. The colors are magnificent, and a joy to see. I love summer heat and long, long days - but I've always adored the autumn season - it suits me just fine.
My dear DH has given me lot's of wonderful presents this year for birthdays and anniversaries. A new camera is coming soon and I came home to one of those round fire pits for our patio - I've always wanted one. So after biking we dragged wood onto the patio and built a lovely fire. We sat and watched it for hours, chatting quietly about this and that but mostly just mesmerized by the flames. I had marshmallows of course, and toasted up too many.
We solved a few of the world problems by chatting about them, and then a few of our own. Had a quiet rememberance of 9 years ago and how hard it was to be apart that day and the following days.A peaceful, relaxing, just-what-I-needed day and night.

glad you are back home and enjoying some special times with your beloved. Early fall and early winter even are a lovely change for sure.
Glad to see that you are back home and de-stressing. LOVE your fall colors. Ours are only just beginning. Burn me a marshmallow, will you?
I'm right there with you on the weather. This is a magical time of year for me. Most people come alive in the spring, but for me it's always been autumn. And I too, love the coming hibernation period.
I'm glad you and DH had a cozy evening by the firepit after an enjoyable bike ride. Sounds like a perfect day ;)

Your colors are showing. ours are not quite coming on. I noticed today some trees are turning brown but we still have a month or so before the real colors begin.
Happy to hear you two are together again and enjoying life by a new firepit.. how fun.
It's been lovely here too. I'm so glad you got some down time after your stressful time with MIL. You both deserve to have some quiet times together.
