Fall things.

As promised, here we are blogging about fall. Unfortunately, it's 82 degrees out which is not fall in our book, but I guess this is what St. Louis has handed us. Good news is, it might be 82 degrees out but there is no humidity like the 82 degrees we felt this summer. Phew.

Onto our fall blog. The few "fall" days we've had, we have loved being outside and are trying to soak in our favorite, and shortest season. Here are a few of the things we've enjoyed most about fall:

1.) apple crisp.  
2.) pumpkin cinnamon pie.
3.) welcome wreaths.
4.) Autumn Harvest scented candles.
5.) Mums.
6.) family pictures.
We hope you are enjoying the fall weather as much as we are! Sam is off to work on a paper and I am off to babysit. Busy week ahead of us. Much love.

Katelyn, Sam & Ethel


A side note from Sam:

As you all know, I am a ridiculously huge music fan. As Katelyn can attest, it may even get out of hand from time to time... ;) But in the words of The Hold Steady, certain songs get scratched into our souls. Going along with a fall-themed post, I thought I would include a list of some excellent fall records that have provided a soundtrack to this season over the last few years!

In no particular order...
  1. Hem - Rabbit Songs
  2. Over the Rhine - The Long Surrender
  3. Joe Henry - Civilians
  4. Ron Sexsmith - Retriever
  5. Wilco - A Ghost Is Born
  6. John Coltrane - Blue Train
  7. The National - Boxer
  8. Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)
  9. Josh Ritter - The Animal Years
  10. The Avett Brothers - I and Love and You
