So long sweet summer--

Today is the first day this year I've been able to sit outside, (while skipping class) and wear a cardigan. I can tell you that all I want in the world right now is a pumpkin spice latte and a piece of pumpkin loaf.
Consider that added on my list of things to bake this week.

I was reading Andrew and Carissa's blog and they've had a few guest posting their summer commemorations. What a great way to say "so long sweet summer" and 'hello' to a much anticipated Autumn...

Here's my summer commemoration.

What are you going to miss about summer? What are you looking forward to this Autumn?
I can't wait to see what fun events are happening locally here this Autumn. If anybody has an inside scoop- please share!
