This first morning of November welcomed us with cool temperatures and gray skies, and some rain is expected for later today. I'm drinking a cup of hot, Earl Grey tea as I type. I could drink hot tea all day long. Earl Grey and green tea are two of my very favorite. And coffee, too! Below is a picture of my cafe' au lait from brunch at our favorite brunch spot a few weekends ago. I would say that sweater weather has finally arrived and I couldn't be happier!
We celebrated Halloween by carving a pumpkin over the weekend and some trick-or-treating in the neighborhood last night. Charlotte dressed up as Fancy Nancy. She looked so cute! Halloween has never been a favorite holiday of mine, but my kiddo enjoys dressing up and getting lots of candy most of all, I think.
Happy November! Enjoy this very cozy time of year.
