Cold and Rainy September

Well, it looks like we went straight from summer into fall. Im not giving up on warm weather yet, but that tends to be how it is here in Chicago. No in between.

I just sat down with some really old wine that doesn't taste so good, but will surely get me through the rest of the Friday work day. Thought I would share some of the Midwest's bounty for the last days of summer and beginning of fall, with you. My heart melts when I see beautiful berried vines and the slight change of color on the local grasses and branches.
The colors are definitely changing. I feel like the local flower markets colors changed from brights and summers to oranges, gold and reds right when September hit. Im not complaining, I love fall and all of the foliage, blooms, branches and vines that it brings.

Looking forward to our fall weddings and for nesting before winter hits. Been ready for soups, socks, sweaters and the brisk breeze for a few weeks now. Just wait though, come 2 months from now, I will probably be cursing what I just said.
