I’m looking forward to winter. I love all seasons for the change they bring us but winter has a It’s my favorite season and this summer has not necessarily been a kind or easy one. Among my favorite Autumnal accoutrement:

suede boots

hot chocolate

pies

layers of clothes

cinnamony smells

starry skies

icy cool blues, pine greens and fluffy whites

stew

bailey’s coffee

snowflakes

crunching snow

stocking stuffers

snuggling up with the Standards like Perry Como’s “Catch a Falling Star” and Frank singing the Christmas classics

peppermint white mochas

kisses under the mistletoe

baking fudge

bisque soups and drippy white cheddar grill cheese sandwiches

And last but not least, reading next to an open fireplace with a nice glass of a heavy smoky cabernet

What are you looking forward to this winter?
