Marshmallows and Boots

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." ~L.M. Montgomery

A weekend mountain getaway means morning hikes, gorgeous views, handsome mountain men, roasting marshmallows, colorful kabobs, cheering for the Dawgs in our red and black, morning coffee and reading on the deck, and great girlfriends in great boots!









Skirt! Magazine's cover says it perfectly this month:

"The earth is going through its beautiful old cycle of change this month.  She's giving up her sexy green heat and showing her roots, taking a rest from the cabaret act of summer and swapping the sun's glaring footlights for a mellow gold moon.  October is Mother Earth's homebody, the calendar's domestic goddess.  She's pumpkin and plaid, wool and red wine, pajamas by 9 and news at 11.  Her perfume is fallen leaves and wood smoke with a hint of candy corn.  She loves chili and corn-bread, half-time shows and home-town teams, plum-brown lipstick and well-seasoned jeans.  October is porch lights and reading lamps, oatmeal for breakfast and flannel for bed.  But she still believes in black cats and haunted houses, magic and mischief and getting lost in a maze.  Part good girl, part spice girl, our homecoming queen on a broom."


Love it!
