Feels Like Fall!

This past week, Minnesota has had consistently gorgeous weather. The air has finally dried out, we've had bluebird skies, and best of all, I have been falling asleep with my windows open every night. When the sun goes down, I absolutely revel in getting to snuggle up in my big comforter with the chilly breeze around me. As the title goes, it feels like fall around here!

For so many reasons, fall has always been my favorite season of the year. The movement and pace of Autumn is special. Fall humbly subdues the bright splashes of summer's color. Fall brings us a warm afternoon sun and a cool breeze so that we do not complain about heat so close to winter. And at this very moment in August, fall is gently reminding us to enjoy these last few weeks of freedom and family before we all begin working very hard again. 

To me, fall is inexplicably beautiful, cozy, and exciting. The colors and clothes are at the top of my favorites list! Jeans, sweaters, and boots- comfy, conservative, chic- What else could a girl want? Plus, when you pair the outfit with the most gorgeous campus in this nation in the midst of nature's color change...well, you just feel good. (I can't wait to post a picture of my favorite Saint John's University tree. When it turns canary yellow, it's stunning). Speaking of SJU, this brings me to my other favorite part of fall: Back to school! Sadly, this is the last year I can truly say this- [CUE depressing senior-in-college moment]- so I better make it a good one! 

I love fall. Did I mention I love fall? Hopefully you're laughing and not clicking out of this window--I'm clearly about to burst this morning, but that's what blogs are for, eh? Now get out there and fill those lungs with harvest air! Oh, and make a few of these adorable owls while you're at it-- they're so cute! I made this one yesterday:
