My spirit is feeling lifted and flying as high as this kite now that the cooler Autumn weather has finally arrived! For those of you who've been reading my blog through out our long, loooong HOT Aussie summer, you will know just how excited I am that there is a chill in the air! Yippee time to break out the fluffy slippers and rug up to my eye balls in soft warm PJ's. Oh what an attractive sight I must surely be! hahahahaha....heheh....humph.

Hey Amanda
I can totally identify with you, I remember going through the long, hot summers in South Africa and wishing for Autumn, wanting to just feel cool and to wrap up and get cozy.
Its such a relief when you experience the first lovely cool day!
Now - I search for a ray of sunshine, its the total opposite!

Hi Amanda,
I'm so glad you are finally getting your beloved autumn weather. How funny is it that one of us should be longing for the cold while the other pines for the warmth? Enjoy those toasty warm PJ's!
xoxo,
Mary
The first thing that popped in my head when I say your photo was.... (pretend I am singing)....."Let's go fly a kite.... up to the highest height....."
It is nice to break out those comfy sweaters and throws after a long, hot summer. Right now....for me...it's let those piggies wiggle in the sandals weather.....Yipee!
((hugs)) Rosie
Love that happy photos, and that happy sound in your voice, Amanda...make the most of the cool, delicious days! ((HUGS))
Enjoy those fluffy slippers!
I'm glad things are cooling down for you there.
Here the dogwoods are finally in full bloom, and I'm ready for "open window" weather- and longing for that trip to the beach!! I have put away all of the old heavy winter wear, and replaced it with shorts and tees!
I did keep my old fluffy robe out, though! I'll use it all the way through August!!
Have a lovely day,
Hugs,
Pam
Go ahead and snuggle in for comfort. I'll be thinking of you all warm and cozy.
It's 63F here right now. Just a nice bit of chill in the early mornings.
Hi, Sweetie...it is STILL hard for me to think of YOU going into Fall and us into Spring...I do hope you enjoyed your summer and I know you will enjoy Fall. Do winters get very cold there...I've forgotten.
Be sure to make something sweet to eat, take a pic and send it over to Cielo at House in the Roses for the carnival. I would love to have a dessert recipe from my Aussie friend!!
hugs, bj
Oh my... Fall.... Thankfully is far away right now, Spring is a welcome breath of warm air for us here...Uncovering...painting those 'Winter' weary toes.. walking outside without a jacket on.. But you are right..When that first 'crisp' day comes.. I know I will be very thankful after a long Hot Summer... Yeah, I bet your cute in your slippers and sweater!lol
XO
p.s
I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend! I will pray.
Pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa and snuggle up in a blankie. I know that feeling too. It's fun to feel the cool crispness in the air.
Enjoy Amanda Dear, Kathi
Hi there
although, we don't have the best Summers in Yorkshire, UK ;) I love Autumn, cosy pjs, long walks, hot chocolate and the leaves on the trees giving a stunning firework display before blowing away in the wind - magic

Amanda wish we could trade places for a bit ...we just started getting weather in the 50's here! We are hoping all the snow will be gone by this weekend.

I would just love to send you a carefully packed cooler filled with snow, from just outside my door. I can relate to your longing for fall. When we finally get summer (whenever that is) it is extremely hot. At some point I get excited thinking about cooler temps. Enjoy your sweaters, slippers & warm drinks. Stay warm!
I know the feeling! Every fall I'm so excited to bring out the warm sweatshirts and flannel pjs. However, in my neck of the woods summer is almost here and we opened our pool today. Enjoy the cool autumn weather.
Take care
Michelle
Well I can imagine because fall is my favorite time of the year! I do look forward to spring and summer though after the winter. I need a little sunshine right now!
But there is nothing like that cozy feeling of fall, knowing you can sit by the fire again!
xoxo
Isn't it glorious to feel that first refreshing breeze??
Ahhhh....you enjoy every bit of it!
I so love Autumn and long for it all year...I wish I could just have it for all 12 months!
Love,
Sue
Are they cupcake jammies?
I wanna see!
I'd also love to see some photos of Fall in Australia. Pretty pretty please!
Hey ... was that a "yes" on me using your pillow "pattern" if I get a chance to sew before my party on Friday? Wouldn't want to use your idea without asking. And I don't have adorable cupcake fabric ... but maybe I could throw together something with what I have in my closet.
Let me know!
here we are just going into spring - but glad you can enjoy the wonderful fall there!
I'll definately be praying for your friend in the previous post.
Smiles.
Hi Amanda, It's 5:30 am your time. It's time to wake up and smell the coffee!! It's time to get going. I've been up for hours! Come join me for a cup of coffee.
We are finally getting a bit of sunshine today after many cloudy overcast ones. It is very windy though.
I just wanted to say again how sorry I am about your friend. Hugs, Kathi
For one who is looking at the beginnings of a long hot summer here in AZ....I can understand your joy! It is just the beginning of Spring here and we'll be in the 100's very soon! I can't wait for Autumn already! Enjoy your crisp weather!

That kite photo is beautiful, Amanda!
Happy Fall...our Spring is finally here!

Oh Amanda, I am so happy for you that your weather has cooled down. We were in the 70's today and I am a little pink from the sun. Enjoy you time or rest! Dianntha
Funny...we're so sick of our blankets and slippers right about now. We want some sun and warmer weather.
Spring and summer are on there way for us but I'm glad your enjoying your time of year too!
I'm so glad you are getting some refreshing cooler weather. We are looking so forward to the sunshine coming!
Have a great week Amanda!
Hugs, Sharon
Hi Amanda, I'm glad your cooler weather and Autumn is on the way. Spring is in full swing here and after reading your post I'm already looking forward to winter and foggy days....how crazy is that. Hugs, Linda
Hi Amanda, just checking to see what is new with you! My heart aches for your dear friend! I will be praying for her and her family in earnest!
Your cupcake pillows and tablecloth are awesome! Hope all has been well with you!
Hugs, Rhonda :)
Oh I envy you!!! I love the cold weather! I have no idea how I ended up in So. Cal.! I love sweaters and fires (in fireplaces!)

Hi Amanda,
Funny how I am finally getting the lovely warm spring weather that I have been waiting for and you are enjoying your cooler fall weather... I do love fall though..
Great picture of the kite!
Hugs,
Penny
Have a great weekend, blue skies, breezes and all.

Dear Amanda, I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now, with your sweet friend being hit again with cancer. You have been away for awhile, and I am guessing it's because you just don't feel like posting at a time like this, or you are visiting your friend.
I just want to say again I'm so sorry for this news that you've recently heard.
I will pray for your friend and her two children. They are so young.
It can be overwhelming coming back to blogging after being away. One feels like they must get back to everyone...or else! We as bloggers feel like people will not come back cause we've been away. Not true not true. We'll all keep coming back, and you don't have to do make-up time either. Bless you sweet Amanda.
Kathi
Hey Sweet Girl.....just checking in to say "hi" and I miss you.
You are always on my mind.....((hugs)) Rosie
And I am feeling the same way because the warmer weather is finally here and the sun is shining today!
Hugs,
Robin
Hey Amanda - I'm going to be happy for you that cooler temps have arrived, but I want some warm weather in my neck of the woods and this dang snow to take a hike somewhere else. Your pictures are always so beautiful.
Hugs - Karen
Hi Amanda!
I'm so glad you're finally getting cooler weather down there :) I know how it feels to want that.
Snuggle up in your cozy robe and have some hot chocolate and a cupcake for me ;)
Hugs,
rue
And autumn has landed here in South Africa too. How nice to have a blogger who understands the Southern Hemisphere! Have a lovely day! We are busy with a barbecue and salads for Sunday lunch(South African braaivleis) under the autumn sun. Eleanor at Thatchwick
Hiya Cupcake :)
So happy that you are finally getting some cooler weather! Gulp...it's going to be 100 here today!
Hugs,
Dena
Oh my, we are thrilled to finally get some warm weather.
Thanks for your concern for my dog. He's doing great now.
Hugs,
Nan
Good Evening Amanda,
I am so glad you are finally getting some cooler weather. It's been pretty nice around here. During the day I run the A/C and at night I turn the heat on. LOL. I am so dreading our hot summer months. The humidity we have along with the heat makes it almost unbearable at times. We have also had our fair share of rain this Spring as well. It rained 3 times here on Friday and it's rained some again today. I think this coming week is suppose to be a bit more dry. I love the bleeding heart plant. I have no idea where it got it's name either. I'm sorry to hear about your friend's cancer coming back. I will be praying for her and her Family during this time. I will also lift you up as well as I know your heart must be breaking for her. I put up a new post this morning and even have some pictures on there as well. Life has just been so busy around here lately. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
OK, that's it! I am sending out the search party! St. Bernards ... out you go with mugs of hot toasty cocoa. Amanda is probably out there in the woods somewhere, enjoying the fall leaves and taking fabulous pictures for us, her blogging friends and fans.
Bring her back!
And don't forget her camera either!
We miss her!!!
I totally know how you feel. After a long HOT southern summer I usually can't wait for a cool breeze!
Manuela
Teehee- we are giddy here with a touch of warmer weather!!!
blessings,
kari & kijsa
