Only a few weeks until our Christmas events and it’s a glorious 72 degrees outside.
So naturally, I’m inside The Mill cranking 80s rock, fluffing trees, and visualizing a winter wonderland.
But before all that? I got to take a walk in the woods this morning, and it was truly magical. The kind of quiet where the leaves fall like confetti and you feel like you’ve stepped into your own little storybook. It was one of those moments that makes you stop and think, “Yep. Life is good.”
Meanwhile, my husband is busy getting the harvest in at the farm and honestly, we’ve been absolutely blessed with the weather this season. Sunshine, steady days, and just enough crisp mornings to remind us that it is Autumn.
And listen… at least I’m not playing Christmas music yet. I mean, it won’t be the day after Halloween until Sunday. I’m showing restraint. This is me being responsible.
But the sparkle waits for no calendar. Christmas at The Mill decorating is powered by sunshine, gratitude, falling leaves, and a questionable amount of 80s guitar solos.
***Edit*** I need to apologize to all the neighbors and people driving by. I didn't know my outdoor speaker was on!
