Happy fall y'all!

Yesterday was the first day of fall and that means my favorite time of year has officially begun!

I chose pumpkin oat muffins to make this morning to go along with the

pumpkin spice coffee and pumpkin spice creamer I picked up yesterday after work.

It was a yummy way to start the day!

I just love everything about autumn.

Don't you?

Here are some other fall inspirations from years past -

Fall is in the air...

We have been having the nicest cool mornings and evenings lately

and it sure seems like fall is in the air.

I put out all my fall decor on Sunday

and was so pleased to find the 

pumpkin nutmeg nature's wick candle 

from last season in my box of decorations.

I always go by Hobby Lobby in September each year 

and get one new fall decoration.

This year I picked out a set of four pumpkin napkin holders. :-)

Our first meal at the fall decorated table on Monday night was homemade fried chicken tenders,

mashed potatoes (with the skin on 'cause they're so easy that way, just call them "rustic"!),

fresh green beans and biscuits.

And this evening we had leftovers,

so I took some time to bake up my first batch of pumpkin scones of the season.

Fall is definitely in the air at my house!

~Early Fall Morning~

A chill in the air this morning 

made the picnic table the prefect setting

to enjoy some yummy pumpkin waffles.

A super simple recipe -

1 cup baking mix

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup milk

1/4 cup canned pumpkin

makes 2 waffles

Here comes fall!

"Autumn mornings: sunshine and crisp air, birds and calmness,

year's end and day's beginnings."
