Fall is finally here!

I am so glad that the weather in Georgia is finally deciding to act right! Right now it is 68 and raining. Normally I would complain about the rain, but for the past 45+ days we have had no rain and it has been over 90 almost every day. Typically this time of year the temperatures are in the low 80's, so needless to say it has been a super hot September!

I am so excited about the fall! Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the fact that you can wear long sleeve shirts and shorts, light layers, sweaters, boots, etc. My all time favorite fall accessory is boots!

Right now I am loving these!

My other favorite favorite fall accessory is a scarf! During the fall you can pretty much always count on me having on a scarf. However, I haven't been able to wear them much because it has been so flipping hot! My mom just got back from Scotland and she brought me back so amazing scarves! I am glad it is finally getting cooler so I can have a chance to wear them!

What are yalls favorite fall accessories?

Another great thing about fall is College Football!!! I love all things about college football, especially the SEC! There is something truly special about football in the south!

I found this on another blog and thought it was super cute so I thought I would share!

few hungover students that might actually make it to class.

the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.

SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking
accompanied by live performance by "Hootie and the Blowfish," who come
over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon. Televisions set up with satellite dishes so that we don’t miss any football games shown before and after ours.

Getting to the Stadium:

in.

state's third largest city.

harmony.

SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs."

Announcers:

SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team.

After the Game:
NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.
SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker. While somebody goes to
the nearest package store for more bourbon, planning begins for next
week's game.

Nothing else in the universe comes even halfway close to the
glories of Southern Football.

Happy Monday!
