Bethany: Sarah, I LOVE honeycrisp apples.3 years ago
Roxanne: Though meant for fall I’ll be using these for the winter that’s already here in northern B.C.. Snow, snow, snow…it’s everywhere >.<3 years ago
Bethany, Me too! They’re my absolute favorite.
Roxanne, You and my friends in Montana are in the same boat — there’s already 2 feet of snow!3 years ago

Christine S.: A jazzy radio station…that’s karmic! I offered Pandora in the background last period to a group of Juniors working on research – they chose John Coltrane and we have been “jazzy” ever since!:)3 years ago
Ha! I love it! (Also, they sound like some pretty cool juniors! I wish I had been listening to Coltrane in high school.)3 years ago
EB: Sweetie, you and I are both well aware that there is no such thing as a SPARE bottle of wine

melissa m-f: Mmmm… I love this list. I don’t remember loving fall as much as I do this year! I’ve already equipped the house with about 12 of those 15–think I’ll get some leaf bouquets inside this weekend–good idea!

Touche, Lady EB!
Melissa, I agree — this fall seems especially great, but of course, I have my reasons.

domestikate: Love this! Also love fall. It’s my favourite!3 years ago
geek+nerd: Mmm! Yes x 15! I would add baking to the list as well. Nothing like a warm cozy kitchen with something yummy in the oven.3 years ago
Alison: If possible, this list makes me even *more* excited about fall! I love that you put ‘Jamaica Inn’ on there! And I’m definitely going to get one of those vintage-y candles–they’re so much more affordable than the ones I usually squander my money on

s. stockwell: Some very cozy idea indeed and we are getting ready for a big Pacific storm. It will be the first rain we have had in 6 months? The entire landscape is so thirsty! We will definitely get a candle and the Red Wine! Best, s3 years ago
LissyLou: ooo i likey!!3 years ago
Emily: Oooh, I love it!
Just turned the heat on for the first time last night (Santa Barbara) and pulled out the fuzzy throws. Love that October air.
