Fall: What is that?


Well it's no secret Florida really doesn't experience a true Fall. The weather is still in the 80's so definitely don't need the cute scarfs or boots and the leaves don't change to those beautiful red and orange colors like the photo above. However, the weather does become slightly more comfortable compared to the blazing hot summer and there are several other things I enjoy around this time of year that remind me it is in fact Fall. 

#1: Epcot's Food & Wine Festival. I can't wait to go next weekend and sample all the food and wine from different countries. 


#2: Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Fall Scented Candles. I just put in my order over the weekend for some new pumpkin scented candles so my house can smell like Fall.



#3: Pumpkin beer. Since they hit the shelves a few weeks ago, I've been trying a new pumpkin beer every weekend with K. Call me crazy but I even have a whole post about this coming soon.


#4: Pumpkin carving. Or I should really say pumpkin pattern designing and then someone else does the carving. (K made that meme last year as a joke.) And do you see that patch of lawn to the right of him? We had a pumpkin plant start growing out of control there until from him throwing the seeds out until we finally decided to remove it a few months ago.


#5: Potlucks at work and Thanksgiving out of town with family. This was Thanksgiving last year  when Lola had just joined our family and was a tiny puppy.


Okay I'm a little late to the party but I'm joining Pinky and Katie for their Falling for Fall linkup.

  5. We're in the same boat here in Houston, we don't see the leaves change but we're just happy for the cooler weather! You definitely should go to the Food & Wine Festival at Disney! I've heard such great things about it and have been dying to go!

  15. That Food & Wine festival sounds great! Hey, you may be missing out on some fall right now, but as of January we will all be jealous of your climate! Your meme about making jack-o-lanterns totally cracked me up!

  16. I would love to see Disney in the fall, and the Food and Wine Festival sounds fun!!! I picked up the Pumpkin Cheesecake candle earlier this month for only $4 (had some coupons) as well a free mini candle in Vanilla Pumpkin (or some similarly named scent). That meme is too funny!
