Autumn Smiles

I was just sitting here sipping on lemon water (because someone on pinterest said everyone should do it) in a large mason jar (because I love mason jars), and decided I should do something productive like blog.  Blogging is productive, right?

I wasn't hesitant when I left Oklahoma to come back to Honduras, but one thing was for sure- I wasn't leaving Oklahoma without bringing a taste of Autumn with me.  So, I went to Wal-Mart and hit the clearance isle...and the non-clearance isle.  Okay, pretty much every isle that may have had fall items on the shelves.  I was on a mission.

What did I bring back with me you ask?  Or maybe you didn't ask.  I'm telling you anyways.

Oh! Wait, wait, WAIT!  First I have to show you what I came home to.

An empty hamper with clean clothes folded at the foot of my bed.  Who has the best landlady around?  I do!  This just plum made my day.

Back to Autumn bliss and drinking lemon water from a mason jar.

New in the kitchen...

Happy Harvest sign!

Cork board(s) decorated with scrapbook paper, fall decorations, and pictures of adorable people.  Shout out to Aunt Debbie for taking the pictures.  Now I'm wishing I was brave enough to get a picture with you know who. There's always next time. *Sigh*

A deep red (cranberry?) coffee cup alongside a plate from Better Homes and Gardens.  Yes, I eat off it.  Yes, it makes me happy.  Have I mentioned how I love fall?

Sorry for the poor picture quality on this one.  But of course I couldn't miss seasonal drinks.  Mint hot cocoa, double mocha cappuccino, herbal tea, and mocha mint coffee with york patty coffee creamer (not pictured).  I'm really sad I don't care much for pumpkin.  There will be a caramel apple cider experiment later this month.  Using ingredients found in Honduras.

Now for my room!



Another sign.  This one obviously says "Give Thanks."

Pumpkin Spice candle which I think the ants like.

Another decorated cork board.  There are four total.  Two in the kitchen and two in my room.  I brought back scrapbook paper that looks more Christmas-y for after Thanksgiving.

I'm rather glad to be back in Honduras, despite their unchanging seasons.  I'll leave you with a quote from a couple friends of mine.

Native Minnesotan- "Have you ever seen snow before?"

Native Honduran- "Yes.  In the freezer."
