The Home I find in Autumn

What is home to you? What does it feel like? Taste like? Smell like?

I grew up in a large family and although I might have resented my mother then 

for sending us outside to play on the swingset or chalk the driveway,

I cannot forget those crisp apples she'd smother in peanut butter. We lived in mild 

climates for much of my childhood but I cannot forget those long bike 

rides bundled up and coming home to apple and peanut butter snacks: apple slices so big

 they're almost too big to take a bite out of. I never really preferred

crunchy peanut butter myself....

It's not cold here in Austin this morning

but it's definitely not hot out either and I am thankful for that.

The reprieve in heat makes me crave an autumn breeze, apples, peanut butter... pumpkin.

I am drinking a pumpkin spiced latte as I finish editing this beautiful wedding.

In keeping in theme with autumn,

here are a few Instagram images from November of 2010, some of the 

first ever Instagram photos I took while camping with Johnny, the light of autumn alive.

May you have a wonderful day, my friend.

And may you remember what home feels like 

and carry it with you wherever you go...
