As mentioned in my very first blog, I am a big fan of making lists. It also turns out that I am a big fan of the fall. Today is October 8, and because I feel October embodies the fall, I will list the reasons why I love the fall.
(note: forgive my very elementary post today. I can't help it on a day like today.)
- The crispness in the air (and often subsequent decrease in humidity)
- Halloween (both dressing up and the decorations)
- Pumpkin carving (related to Halloween but a separate bullet item in itself)
- Football (both college and professional)
- Pumpkin spice lattes (an occasional Starbucks splurge)
- Bonfires and fireplace fires
- Flannel blankets and fleece pullovers
- Autumn foliage
- Hiking and/or camping
- Hot toddies
- Feeling generally cozy inside when you know it's cold outside
- Memories of family hayrides and trick-or-treating
- County and city fairs
- Scarves and sometimes even gloves
- Perfect temperature days and chilly evenings
- Cupping my hands around a warm coffee or hot chocolate mug
All of the above items are things that make me smile and make me look forward to the fall each and every year.
