falling for fall.

This weekend I really started to accept the fact that it’s fall, and you know what? As much as I am addicted to summer, fall’s got me smiling. I am loving wearing long sleeves and fleeces, walking around my apartment in slippers, and the warm light that graces the sky each afternoon.

I really tried to make the most of my Sunday this weekend. I woke up early to have breakfast with Zan before he headed out to Lincoln to work on his new (used) Subaru. It’s an outback, so come winter we’ll be riding up the slops in style. He’s been working on this car almost every weekend and I can’t wait for him to be done! After breakfast I hopped in my car and drove over to Target to look for a grey throw blanket to go over a trunk in our bedroom. I luckily found exactly what I was looking for and made it out of there with only the things I needed and nothing more. A RARE occurrence in this girls life. I was so proud of myself I decided to stop in at Marshalls and treat myself to some clearance artwork. Wait, what? Basically I saved my money just to spend it 15 mintues later. How I roll.

After Target I met up with Meg back home and we drove out Route 2 for apple picking in Stow, Ma. Destination: Honey Pot Hills Orchard, which as been a favorite fall destination for a couple of years now. We filled up a bag of apples (I’m not much of a plain apple eater, more of the bake-it and devour it type), ate hot dogs and went to heaven with apple cider donuts. Man, those are delicious.

While at the apple orchard we discovered via twitter that the glorious Wegmans was having it’s grand opening in Massachusetts just a mere 20 minutes from where we were. So naturally we made the last minute decision to take the drive to the motherland and enjoy the sights and sounds that IS the mecca of all grocery stores. It was the end-all-be-all best afternoon of this October. Just sayin’. It was insane.

Hope you had a good weekend! Only 4 more days til the next one!
