First taste of fall...

For two days now we got to pretend fall is here. We have been waking up to low humidity and only 20C. Heaven! Too bad it was over 30C again after lunch! And even sadder that it was just temporary...

But it is coming, the heavenly time in Florida known elsewhere as fall! I am looking forward to many pleasant walks without being super soaked in sweat afterward...

So Friday again... Ken has planned a visit to the Marina Jack waterfront park in downtown Sarasota. It is such a wonderful place to walk, people watch and just enjoy your day. They have a cool tropical looking restaurant right on the water that we for some reason never have tried, so we will test that out too. And Sarah is looking forward to the awesome playground in the park. Should be a nice day!

I have put some of my Halloween and fall decorations out, I have gotten the traditional "cinnamon broom", these things are hand made little brooms, soaked in cinnamon oil. They smell very strong of cinnamon, so I usually place one at the front entrance, so when you go in and out you get a nice whiff of cinnamon. I also got my first pumpkins yesterday, one big and a couple of mini once.

Our pumpkins out by the front door, you can see the top of the "cinnamon broom" behind them too.

LÅter helt underbart med 20 grader, även om det bara var tillfälligt! O är i NJ den här veckan och jag är sååå avis, framförallt för att få uppleva lite kyligare väder ;-)
