I definitely ease into Fall slowly. As in I take baby, baby steps towards it. Summer is my favourite season, and I’m just never quite ready for it to end. I love the long hot days, and the feeling that things are just moving a little bit slower. This year, especially, summer seems to be hanging on longer, giving us just a bit more.
Fall means the pace is picking up. Activities are back up and running, people are back to regular work life, being nutso busy is also back. Plus, we know that just around the corner is the busiest season of all…. So I’m getting there. I’ve put some velvet pillows out here at the store and a few woolly blankets. I’ve got fall blooms in the cooler and am planning what I’ll be doing for Thanksgiving centerpieces. I’ll start burning our signature Handsome candle and get all those good spicy scents going.
I’ll load up on the green and cream pumpkins I love and switch out our urns. We’ll offer some yummy hot drinks and hope you’ll stay a while. And then I’ll start to look forward to all the cozy things. The cooler days, chunky sweaters, a mug of hot chocolate and some cake to go with it. Aaaaannnd Hockey Season starts. Fall is definitely my second favourite season, even if it just takes me a little extra time to get there.
