Welcoming Fall

It always leaves a little hole in my heart when summer leaves. But we’re still out on the beach here, and I’ve had a few fun adventures in place and in store. October is the borderline between the heat and the slowing down. It gives us a little reminder to pause and notice what’s changed.

I’ve got pumpkins (probably rotting as we speak) outside of my door. And few crafts inside in the works.

Most days the weather has been good enough for some yoga and a late season surf.

The sunsets here are always unbeatable.

My sister stopped by to celebrate her engagement. We took a quick walk around Cedar Bonnet Island Park.

And we visited her and Will in Harrisburg, PA again. Talk about the land of craft fairs and festive fall decor!

My mom and stepdad are leaving soon for Georgia, so we took an extended lunch at Rat’s Restaurant in the Grounds for Sculpture. Yummy food and perfect scenery. Highly recommend!

I got into the spirit and baked some fall treats.

And tried my hand at making mussels for the first time. Delicious!
