Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm so glad it's October; are you? Now that it's finally October (which I've been dreading), I'm letting all of my expectations go and focusing on all the good things that are coming with this beautiful month of the year. I'm so glad that you're here today! This month we're talking about what we're currently loving, looking forward to, wearing, reading, and cooking. In November we'll talk about the things we're currently loving, looking forward to, smelling, preparing for, and thankful.
I'll jump in with today's prompts.
Loving:
I know this is one of those unpopular opinions, but I am loving the shorter days. I am loving that it's cozy season! I'm loving that there are fun things to do this month that are things I haven't done before, and that I have a sweet friend to go with. (I'm talking to you, Marilyn!) I am loving the crisp mornings and evenings, and I am loving that I am able to pull out some of my favorite wardrobe essentials with the drop in temperatures!
Don't get me wrong; it's still very warm where I live and could definitely stand to be a good twenty degrees cooler than what it was yesterday!
Looking forward to:
I'm going out of town this week, and I couldn't be happier about it! It's very significant that I'm going this week; I may share more later in the week.
Wearing:
It's officially "dress for fall in the morning, but it's too hot by the afternoon" weather, so I'm wearing lots of jeans/pants, and tops that are neutral in color. It's my homage to fall when it's still too warm for sweaters and long sleeves. Also, see pictures above.
Reading:
I'm reading the Bible. Does that count? I am currently unable to focus on reading books; all I can do is listen for the time being.
Cooking:
I am cooking, period, which is huge progress! I did make myself a big pot of soup Sunday night for me to eat this week and then freeze before leaving town.
I'm excited to read your posts! Thanks for linking up with me today, friends. Love to all!
That soup looks really good, especially with the bread. I made chili this week which tasted good and a little bit like fall :). I don´t mind the early darkness either since it doesn´t last THAT long in the grand scheme of the year. I hope your upcoming trip is a great one! Have a great Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteSorry I had the link set at the wrong time to open! It's open now if you need to link up. Thanks for that! I bet that chili tasted amazing. I love, love, LOVE soup weather! I'm excited to go again!
DeleteThe soup looks yummy! I hope you have a great time on your trip.
ReplyDeleteThe link is open now, sorry about that! Thank you for that! The soup was so good; I had it again last night. That's why I love making a big pot of something, because it'll last me for the week with lunches and dinners. I'm excited to leave tomorrow!
DeleteIt happens! No big deal. :)
DeleteYour soup looks absolutely delicious! Even though it’s supposed to be spring here, the weather has been so cold that warm, hearty soups and baked dinners have been all the go!
ReplyDeleteThe link is open now, sorry! I had it set for the wrong time to open. Ugh. Me and technology don't always get along. Thank you for that! I am sure you don't mind the extra days that call for hearty dinners!
DeleteYay for new things to do! I also like the shorter days, so I am with you on that and all the things you are loving. And yes, the Bible counts!! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited soup season is here!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the shorter days. I don't like going to work when it's dark! I am absolutely looking forward to chili/soup weather!
ReplyDeleteI do love this time of year where the days are shorter. It's so nice to shut the curtains and get cosy on an evening. hahaha! Yes, it's still like that here. Cold in the morning, where I leave the house in the big coat and by the time I get home just before lunch I will be sweating!
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks so good.
Same here with the fall in the morning but hot in the evening! I love being cozy too.
ReplyDeleteI have to say your dogs, like ours, are living their best lives, and I love it ! We are still in the mid 90s in Waco but thank goodness for our pool or it would be miserable. Can’t wait hear the details on your trip out of town.
ReplyDeleteHello! I join you in loving these earlier evenings. There is something about knowing I am home, in my cozy clothes, all set for the night! Always love your positivity, my friend!
