And it’s supposed to get down to 53 tonight! I have my wool socks on and my slippers, and I can’t wait to slip into my flannel jammies. It’s actually feeling like fall, and I couldn’t be happier. The windows in our house have been flung open and we are enjoying the outdoors once again. The relief that summer is over is being felt throughout our home.
We’re in hibernation mode over here, after having 66 guests at our home this weekend for our big Dia de los Muertos bash. We are gearing up for Martinmas (how is that even possible?!) and cozying up with some knitting and dreams of New York and Christmas.
