This morning really felt like a classic fall morning, right?
Hi friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings!

As much as I’m a baby when the temperature drops below 60 🥶, I absolutely loved being able to wear my sweater comfortably outside and even use my heater! To be clear, though, I really do love fall!
I was able to see fall leaves again last month when I went up north. The picture above was taken by yours truly and it was while I was walking around Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (yes, I did see the Headless Horseman). There’s something about being out in nature and taking in the cool air. I really love it ❤️.
If you’re new here, I’ve shared with you all once upon a time that I used to live in Colorado for a bit. The mountains and proximity to trails are a couple of things I miss.
The weather this weekend is also going to be lovely — here’s what we have going on ⤵️
Speaking of fall 🍂,
