To stay in the spirit for this season, I decked out with a little bit of my autumn aesthetics ~ ringing in the old with the new!
My little splurge to bring me cheer this time of year : this rad-in-plaid deer because plaid is on-trend (this one somewhat resembles Burberry) + it’s deer season (not that I’m a hunter) & rein deer seasonDOC to keep me motivated as I keep truck ing along (more in high-speed ) toward my doctoral degree ! Along with Doc are A&A TD toy for football season & my classic Halloween decor ~ including Ba dt z-Maru pillow ~ on this plaid spread that accompanies autumn yet also is appropriate for winter as we approach CHRIS†mas in red & green!
Here’s more info on my fall favorites to take yours truly through this sweater weather & before the snow hits our neck of the woods …
13 Pre-Howl
What’s the best fall memory you have? ~ football games, both when I was in h.s. & when I’d see my *Dallas Cowboys* live
What’s your favorite book you’re reading (or have read) this fall?~ Guts Grace & Glory (football devotionals) that I received during Lent & am reading through football season
Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?~ both (winged liner above in Exhibit B)
Best fragrance for fall? ~ Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (above in Exhibit A)
What is autumn weather like where you live? ~ we’re still as ☼sunny☼ as Indian summer but anticipate a cool-down soon
Most worn sweater? ~ my tribal cardigan by ♫Maroon 5 ‘s ♪Adam Levine♪
Must-have nail polish this fall? ~ Sally Hansen ‘s Miracle Gel to top off color45 days)!
Football games or jumping in leaf piles? ~ BOTH! (see No. 1 for football & Exhibit B for leaf piles)
Skinny jeans or leggings? ~ either or, as long as I don’t have a muffin top in the denim or camel toe in the tights
What is something that nobody knows about you? ~ I don’t mind digging into Ramen even if there’s other food in the panty (especially as comfort food now that we’re entering a colder climate ), which I actually ate for lunch this afternoon while watching Wong Fu major cook-off !
Combat boots or Uggs? ~ bringing on my Docs
Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?~ ¡Claro que sí!
What song really gets you into the fall spirit? ~ oddly enough, ♫Taylor Swift ♪ Wildest Dreams♪ desire (i.e., “tall” could be a tall order of Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha

During my bday vacay last week, I visited a home that is among my fondest memories :
my beloved soon-to-be (in 2½ weeks) Birthday Girl aunt’s estate !
Not only am I a fan, but apparently and rightfully so, her community also is as well because both
in ☼ The Baltimore Sun☼
The highlight of my stay was when I sat in my Tita Fe ‘s gourmet kitchen with Mami Aya
Tita Fe & Tito Rudy Tito Robert & Tita Yollie (my mom’s youngest brother & his wife)
each endorsed me for my PhD ~ providing their sound advice that I’ll take with me as I progress toward my doctoral dissertation defense .

What do you think of Pope Francis ‘ Laudato Si environmental encyclical?
Praise Be His creation!
I’m taking full advantage of taking care of my share of †GOD’s† ☼creations☼ and creatures this weekend!
Following a long week filled with grading speeches and continuing my doctoral dissertation data processing , I beat the heat before today’s rain hit to tend to the garden .
St. Francis of Assisi ~ the Patron Saint of Animals ~ welcomes GOD’s creatures into this Garden of Creation!
In bloom …
Fully blossomed!
To yours truly, gardening is very therapeutic …
And to my fine, furry friends, this gives them a chance to peer into the great outdoors !

I’ve always admired my parents ‘ hard work , not just in their jobs, but also in how they maintain their home.
To this very day, almost three decades since we moved into their forever home , I still consider it as the nicest one on the block all year round.
Just part of my parents’ front yard on the southwest side
My dad , who has a green thumb , takes pride in doing his own gardening .
My mother , who decorates for every single holiday, decks the halls and the porches to welcome each season.
A brand-new addition to their spring blossoms: This pink flower is in full bloom!
Who needs Home Owners Association when this DISPO DIY couple prefer to exercise their own creativity?

Remember my student’s science fair project about ♫music♪ effect on plants ?
Science Project Poster : an elementary eye candy version of the presentations that I teach and the research experiment that I’m conducting!
I still have his yellow hibiscus that went without ♪music♫ in the experiment.
Now that we’ve entered ♣spring♣, this hibiscus can soak in the ☼sunshine☼, bloom and blossom!
Today, we had a hail storm hit , but I didn’t have much notice to remove it …
Before … Will my hibiscus withhold this hail storm??
At least this fortunate flower’s still in tact in the aftermath of this April shower !
After … YES, indeed, she did survive without withering!!!
Friendly reminder: Earth Day is on April 22nd!
