the state in-between.

12.08.2011


Us bloggers, we tend to get quite excited during that shifting period of time, where one season slowly begins to transition into the next. We look forward to those little things, like homemade pumpkin bread in autumn and the first snowfall of the winter.

mustard yellow sweaters for grey sky days.

This prairie province is currently nestled in that in-between state. There are next to no remnants of autumn, only the occasional lone leaf blowing across the yard. Winter seems hesitant to settle down and stay awhile. It snows. It melts. Repeat.

This in-between state is the perfect time to check things off my mile long to-do list (hello, giftwrapping.). It prompts frequent visits to our favourite coffee shop, which is always filled the the brim with hipsters (oh, yes.).


I'm quite content right here. My winter wonderland will come soon enough.

    You, my dear, are lovely. (So is your scarf.) Not to mention the photo with the single flake of snow falling. Sigh. :)

    1) in-between states are the best 2) I think I might drive up and steal your sweater 3) I really love hipster coffee shops. there's a difference between those and regular coffee shops, you know ;) 4) that sky is all kinds of amazing.

    where. did you get that sweater. i've been looking for a mustard yellow sweater forever!! that is so beautiful.
    your photos are so enchanting. we are not exactly in that in-between state, seeing as this is texas. it's getting unnaturally warm here, the cold front seemed to fly away in our sleep. but i am not ungrateful. this weather is beautiful.
    and so is this post. love. you described it perfectly. :))

    We have no snow but it sleeted ever so slightly.
    And I feel like I'm in a limbo right now, and I may as well enjoy it.
