Sunday Stories: Fall Season

Autumn Season

 The leaves are changing into vibrant rays of sunshine in reds, oranges, and yellows. The ground is carpeted with fallen leaves and the temperature is dropping. This is my favorite season. I love to sit under any tree as the wind blows and leaves fall all over me. It brings me joy. This is the season of coziness.

As the temperature drops, the blankets are rewashed and brought out, and laid about the house for all to grab and use as needed. Candles are light again, lights are left off, and the earlier night darkness seeps into all the corners of our lives.

Fall with its crisp air, its apple picking season, its hayrides, and corn mazes. Its birds flying south, its mornings spent listening to the owls hoot as they say a quick early good morning and then go off to sleep. It is a wind blowing by carrying leaves that had fallen. It is the crunch under your feet. 

This is the season to travel. To chase colors across the state. To find the perfect fall spot to take photos, to capture the moments of family, friends, and gatherings. It is listening to friends play guitar on the porch and making pie season. It is a season that fills out senses over and over, which helps us make it through the winter months.

Fall is its own music, its own smells, and its own magic. This season is one that teaches us the lesson of letting go. It is the season of change. Out with the old to make way for the new. It is the season when we live outside, hike, cook, and camp out. This is the season in which I yearn to stay, but I know I must let go so winter can enter. I am thankful winter in Georgia is very mild. I grew up in NJ and I hated snow. I despised the cold. I was miserable, so fall will finish and winter will come, but for right now I will drive all over the state and chase the colors. Right now I want to live in the breezes, the leaves falling on me, and make homemade apple pies.

May this season bless you with all its gifts and may you know that it is teaching us to accept change.
May you be blessed with loved ones around you, time to get outside, and to truly appreciate this season.

Your friend,
Debbie

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
