Yes, there are a few things missing. Over the past two weeks my blog has been hacked twice. My dear husband has worked countless hours retrieving my stuff from the ether, but this time it appears not all can be recovered. So, we’re figuring out a better system of backing things up, finding a new web host, and I’m reminding myself there are more important things in the world than my little corner of space. But I do love this little space! Yesterday the final FrugalLivingNW article posted, so head on over and check it out. We talked about Leaving a Legacy, and because I’m trying to leave a legacy of actually playing with and spending time with my children, I don’t have the time today to write a post on The One who Left a Legacy. I suppose you can figure it out, yes? No one’s legacy has been more significant than Jesus Christ’s. Because He left a legacy of grace, we can leave a legacy of thankfulness. How can we simply be thankful today?
Today I’m celebrating the first day of September by roasting yams and carrots from the garden, baking bread, and making a huge pot of tortilla soup. (I also built a pretty spectacular geo-trax train track this morning, but I hate to brag.) I’ve noticed that it’s all too easy to complain about the early rain, so how are you choosing to enjoy these first fall droplets? I’ve decided this year I’m investing in some super cute rubber boots. My kids have ’em and I think I should too! Soggy toes are a sure way to dampen one’s spirit, so I have my eye out for a deal. They may not be hot off the runway, but I think clompin’ along in skinny jeans and rubber boots sounds just fabulous. Then I’d be able to join Dutch jumping in the mud-puddles.
How will you choose to rejoice in the coming days of fall? What are your favorite fall rituals you can’t wait to enjoy?

Loved it! I didn’t get to do any yummy baking but today but built an awesome lego house with my two – pouring into their lives is an eternal matter – my “to-do” list needs to always be second 🙂
Spent time playing at the empty for one more week local school playground. Made a list of things my daughter and I love about fall. Looking forward to a pumpkin spiced latte with my honey this weekend!:) Found your blog a few weeks ago and have greatly enjoyed reading it.
Ah, Fall… It was 103 degrees here in Cali today. But, I WAS on the Oregon coast about a month ago and that reminded me of fall. I loved the fog, the feel of crisp air on my face, the cute hats, the scarfs, the cozy feeling of hugging my honey in his sweat shirt.
I loved reading this- looking forward to the Fall …! The laughter of children, the sounds and sights of the holidays, the comfort food for the soul, soothing chicken noodle soup (my favorite family recipe), friends, family, and fun. We just celebrated the Fourth but the best of this year has yet to come- the holidays!
