First things first was that faithful morning cup of coffee as I was packing hubby’s lunch.  All was going as planned as I started working my way through the laundry and Monday morning cleaning.  And the Christmas tunes filled the air early on.

On the outside there’s wind + rain + the ground covered in the prettiest yellow blanket.

Remember this tree from last week?  Well the leaves have pretty much made their way to the ground in one big heap.  I suppose this tree wanted to be right on schedule for the first day of winter, which is officially tomorrow.

I love raindrops

Yes, everything about raindrops.

This Monday is also made of leftovers from Saturday night.  A nice quick easy lunch complete with olives.  Does the world know that olives could potentially be one of my favorite things to pair with good food?  Just so you know, these little devils are what make this meal go from good to great!

And what I love about this Monday is that I’m staying home sweet home all day.  I even filled out the request online for the mailman to pick up a package at our front door.  There will be no PO runs or shopping runs, just a nice day at home on our cool 57°F rainy autumn day.
