Thanks, October!

Any blog readers know that I've been a horrible blogger this fall. I've never had such a busy semester (except perhaps the semester I defended my dissertation, and then I had given up blogging precisely for that reason.) October seemed like a long month, but at the end of it, I have an extra hour of sleep and some fun pictures.

Thanks, October...

for teaching me creative layering techniques for when it's 85 degrees and I just want to feel like it's autumn

for ankle boots

for pumpkin everything -- including pumpkin patches, pumpkin coffee, and pumpkin greek yogurt

For rainy days and the blessed advent of fall weather

For warm coffee and tasty food on those rainy days

Henk's is the best.
