~ flowers of the week: 8.23.10 ~

So did everyone have a great weekend?  Mine was quite nice.  I came in third at our monthly poker game which we hosted.  It's so much fun getting the group together once a month, and I especially love any reason to throw a party!  And after seeing lots or red cards Saturday, that treated me well I might add, I am in the mood for some color this week...

I am loving the red, orange and yellow in the bouquet and centerpieces...simple, elegant and perfect for early Fall don't you think?

It's Fall in my neck of the woods...I don't care what the weatherman says...it is!  Yes, today and tomorrrow are supposed to be hot and in the 90's, but you can feel a difference in the air.  The days have a warm (not hot) breeze that's rustling the leaves in the trees, and the nights are getting crisper.  Before I know it I'll be wearing cozy sweaters, and there will be nightly fires in the fireplace...perfect snuggling up weather!  And I think that's what I like most about Fall - it's makes you want to be cozy and snuggle...well at least for me it does!  I think the Fall bug has finally bitten me...what about you?  Are you ready for it?
