It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday – and what better way to kick off a weekend than with a little coffee catch-up with friends?
I’m joining Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date, so grab a mug, and let’s chat!
Five things Over October Coffee
Over coffee, I would tell you how happy I am that October has arrived – it is probably one of my favorite months! I love all things fall – apple picking, leaf-peeping, hiking, and afternoon football games. October is also my anniversary month – my husband and I will be celebrating 33 years!
Over coffee, I’d tell you that after some glorious fall weather in September, Mother Nature’s now playing a game of bait and switch with the weather as the forecast is showing temps in the 80s for this weekend and most of next week. C’mon – I’m ready for sweaters and boots already!
Over coffee, I would tell you that I’m amazed at how well the roses continue to thrive in my garden. I don’t ever remember having so many blooms so late in the season – perhaps the upside of this crazy weather pattern.
Over coffee, I would share a puppy update: Ryker is now 8 months and approaching 75 lbs with no signs of slowing down! He’s a crazy bundle of energy and still pulls like crazy on the leash, which makes walking him quite the adventure. He’s also the biggest snuggler – he’s been such a fun addition to our household.
Catching up in size to his big brother!
Over coffee, I would tell you that I’m looking forward to a pretty packed calendar this month – lots of plans to catch up with friends over lunches, dinners and coffee. I’m also super excited to finally see Hamilton performed live!
Now I’d tell you that my cup is empty and I need a refill. So your turn, what would you tell me over coffee?

Happy 33rd anniversary to you and your husband this month! Your roses are beautiful! I’ve been noticing what seems like more roses blooming later in the season this year as well. I’ve seen some really beautiful ones along the trail on my walks this week.
Look at that big good boy! He is getting big!
Enjoy Hamilton! I’ve not seen it.

Happy Anniversary month!
Scooby’s leash manners have gotten better, but they are still not great. We tried all the different harnesses which made no difference!
I’d love to see Hamilton!
Happy anniversary to you as well! October is my favorite month as well. Cool temps and beautiful leaves. Your pups are getting so big!
I think just about everyone likes October- I mean what’s not to like??? Even here in Florida we’re hoping to see some cooler weather soon.
Happy anniversary month- and I love the puppy photos!
Awh, sweet “baby” Ryker! You’re getting all of my weather from last week…we’re supposed to drop to the 60’s on Monday (I think). Buzzkill for this gal! My flowers have been blooming much later than I’d expected…I’m guessing the extended summer conditions is a factor as well.
I love October, too! It’s still super warm here, too! Fingers crossed or a cool down for the Chicago Marathon next weekend.
Your October sounds amazing! Happy anniversary and enjoy all of your fun plans!
Ryker is so cute (both pups are gorgeous!). I have a huge puppy (lab) who is a puller. They have her on a gentle, no-pull lead and while she hates it, it’s working fairly well.
Hamilton in person is life changing. I’m so happy you get to see it.
I would love to go apple picking. It’s my favorite. we are planning a vacation in the mountains after Christmas, and that will work too!
Happy anniversary and cheers to 33 years!
It is still SO hot here and I am over it. It’s almost 90 here today. Let’s have fall already.
Both of your doggos are so cute. Glad Ryker is doing great!
I would tell you that October is also my favourite month because it is my birth month! I also love the moderate temperatures (spring in my case). Happy 33rd anniversary! 🩷
33 years!!! I hope we make that too!! September and October are truly my favorite months except for that short period of time where we are fooled by the weather – by now we’ve figured out how to layer at least !
I love fall too — happy anniversary to you! <3
Ryker is adorable! <3 Yay for puppy snuggles!
I still haven't seen Hamilton yet but it's on my list! I hope you have an amazing time!
