Cozy Comforts of Autumn

Ok, September is officially over and we can turn on the furnace if we want. It was frosty this morning! Yikes! The sun is breaking through the early morning mist and it looks like it's going to be another gorgeous day!

In our house we have lots of fleece blankets. They are lying over the arms of sofas, folded at the ends of bed, or, like today wrapped around bodies that have just emerged from beneath warm covers.

Today is a day for a list. A list of cozy things. A list that celebrates the season of frosty mornings and warm days. A list that personifies cozy, homey comfort.

Our Autumn Comforts:

1. Porridge for breakfast. (we love)

~with cinnamon and apples and brown sugar

2. Sweaters

~it's like a piece of clothing hugging you!

3. Hats

~especially when a friend crochets a beautiful one 

for your August Birthday 

and you have to wait to wear it!

4. Stew and biscuits

~Simmering on the stove all day long

5. New scented candles

~cinnamon, pumpkin, coffee, ginger, apple

6. Socks

~ After a barefoot summer: I love new socks!

7. Snuggling

~this is the season of sitting close {love}

8. Hot drinks: morning, noon and night

~apple cider w/cinnamon sticks,  hot cranberry, Coffee & Bailey's {wink}

9. Homemade Soups, soups and more soups!

~ minestrone, beef and barley, chicken vegetable {le sigh}

10.  Talking by candlelight, wrapped in fleece blankets,

sipping hot drinks first thing in the morning 

and last thing at night.

~Love~
