Fall Sunsets

There is a slight obsession it seems among my generation with Autumn. 

Maybe it's just among bloggers in my generation. 

It could be it's just an obsession among bloggers that I follow on instagram that happen to be in my generation. 

I dunno. 

But peeps be loving fall it seems. 

Instagram and pinterest are flooded with plaid, blanket scarfs, warm tones of navy, merlot and military green. Boots in every tone of brown, tan, toffee, latte and caramel are represented in celebration of those cooler fall days and nights. Photos of fallen leaves, coffee, sweaters, pumpkins and the warmest most beautiful sunsets are given full representation by fellow instagrammers obsessing over the harvest season. 

It's a mild obsession. The shortest season out of the lot of them has a positive cult following. 
And I must admit, I totally drank the Kool-aid. 

Fall is perfection for me. 
It is the reason I could never live in Florida, Arizona, California, or any other traditionally-autumn-less locale. 
It is what I spend the better half of July and August pining for. 
It is the season that matches my clothing and preferred home decor the most; I surround myself with hints and suggestions of fall to fully bask in it when it's here and to fondly remember it when it is not. 

For lack of a better explanation:
Fall is my jam. 

When the Lord returns, I hope he comes in the fall. 
I hope it's an evening just like tonight. 

Lucy seems to have inherited this love. She could not get enough of the crisp air and beautiful sunset this evening. 

"Sun!"
"bye bye's"

all the heart-eyes, all of them!

Between chasing the kittens, pointing at the crescent moon, waving to the sun and running up and down hills, we were both in our glory while we breathed in the glorious creation of the One and Only Creator. 

I have nothing exciting to report. No great stories to share. 
Tuesday was ordinary. 
But with a sunset like we had, paired with the cool, crispness of the season, joined with the sweetest little pumpkin pants I've ever known - ordinary turned to extraordinary. 

My heart overflows with the beauty of God's creation and the undeserved gift of experiencing it like I do.

Tomorrow marks the last day of summer. 
It was a great going-away celebration we had tonight. 
And since this is only the winding down of summer and the just the beginning moments of fall... it means there is so much more to come!!!

This sunset was just a taste.
It was a farewell to summer and a hello to autumn.

True, the leaves are not yet turned. The air has not quite rid itself of that summer sensation. 

But it's close... it's so close.

Bring it on.  

What a marvelous idea: fall. 

Just marvelous.
