It has been raining like mad around here, but yesterday I got out and planted some beet seeds between the raindrops. When I look out the front door the street is flooded like a river.
In the mornings I've been trying to spend the first half hour in nature, whether that means a walk around the block or breakfast in the garden. Not doing much, not thinking about my day much, just soaking it in.
Today I spent the afternoon re-upholstering a pair of wooden stools I found at a curb down the street. We've been waiting for a set to turn up to put at our kitchen counter.
It's also time to bring out the fall sweaters, the danskos, the coats, the scarves. Time to add the woollies back into my wardrobe on evening strolls and running errands. I'm looking forward to being cozy.
Happy autumn! Do you do anything special to get ready for fall?

Sounds like you've been getting some of the same weather we have. Our street was quite flooded last night...as though we had water-front property. I am so very ready for fall and looking forward to all the fun things to wear, to smell, to eat, to drink, to laugh at in amazement!
i have a little secret wish that one day i'll get to sit in your kitchen. :)
i've been making leg and arm warmers from old felted wool sweaters. orange, purple, green. :)
I'm also looking forward to being cosy. I also change my wardrobe and prepare it for the cold season and I try to not forget a bag for my walks to collect fall findings from nature :)
Fall is so not happening yet in my neck of the woods. Today was the first day under 90 degrees. (hello, central california!) But when fall does finally arrive I'll be ready with boots on.

anita ~ I am SO ready for fall! :) the cooler temps give me a spring in my mindset which is totally lacking in the humidity of summer.
bee ~ hmmm, that would be nice. :) one day!
claudia ~ I have a few drawstring bags that I bring on hikes to collect things. Your stamps based on leaves are amazing!
cortnie ~ It's been pretty muggy around here and kind of on the cusp of raining all the time. I'm waiting for really crisp cooler weather ~ sweater weather. :)
Your wooden stools sound like a great find - can't wait to see what you did with them.
It's almost-not quite-nearly fall here but I am ready with the sweaters, scarves, boots and a happy spring in my step!
I suspect some of those beets will end up in one of those delicious sounding chocolate beet muffins you make. :)
