Fall 2014

We have been spoiled this year! This Summer was cool and now Fall has been absolutely gorgeous. Ok, winter was bad, but I just try to forget... The beautiful colors of fall that haven't been quite as bright in recent years finally decided to blossom for us this year.

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. I love wearing the light jackets, the scarves, and enjoying those last precious moments of nice weather. When the leaves crunch under your feet as you walk. The way that a warm October fades deliciously into a cool November. When we turn inward and spend time at home, cooking, baking, making cocktails. Inviting friends over to enjoy in all the cooking, baking, and cocktails. I listen to jazz music in the Fall, because it just feels right. Fall is when our towns and our hours most feel like home. Familiar and cozy.

This October has been amazing! Enjoy some of the photos I have taken.

Photos were taken in Minnesota and Iowa.

Barbette

When you're looking for something quaint and a little bit Parisian, head over to Barbette. It's cute, it's lively, it's delicious. We managed to catch the last few minutes of happy hour to get drinks before we dived into the bit more spendy dinner menu. The food was top notch and absolutely incredible. He had the lobster risotto and I had the seared wild acre chicken with the most incredible cornbread cake.   I cannot wait to go back to try their brunch menu! Until then, enjoy the photos:

A Beautiful Day in Minneapolis!

Did anyone else get out yesterday to enjoy the beautifully warm weather? That certainly just came out of no where! I know, I enjoyed the sudden change of weather. Which is good, because some people are starting to talk about snow tonight?!?! Oh my... Welcome to Minnesota, I guess. Or an alternative hypothesis is the impending Apocalypse. I guess I will leave you to make your own opinion on the matter.

I had quite the adventure with my roommates yesterday. We went to Uptown and Lake Calhoun and soaked in the nice weather. Than later I went for a "run" with Megan to Jimmy John's. Later, we walked around Dinkytown and ended up at Annie's for a malt. Pretty much a perfect day! Here are a few pics:
