its the first day if FALL! y’all.

we welcome the first day of fall here in Texas with 90 degree heat + thunderstorms on the horizon.  BUT I did warm up with the yummiest latte this morning- have you tried the Maple Pecan Latte from Starbucks, yet??  forced myself into leggings for a solid 5 minutes while I sat on the patio to enjoy my coffee.  I’m willing the cool weather to arrive asap, but I doubt we will get a break here in the coming weeks. either way, I thought it would be fun to document our fall season with a bucket list of things to do over the next couple months!
