Autumn

It's officially my favorite time of year. Now if we could just drop below the 90's it would really feel like fall.

What do I love so dearly about Fall?

*the leaves turning from green to yellow to red. October is the most beautiful month and it just happens to be my birthday on the 1st.

*the air turning crisp in the morning and a sweet warmth in the afternoon

*the decorations, like these.

*the excitement of new clothes. Like this cute dress. It's the one on the right that I should have ordered yesterday when it was in stock :(

*Pumpkin Spice Americano's (yum)

*that it means it's time to start curling up on the couch and getting cozy.

*it's time to cook soup and make bread and use the oven without heating the house up to 85 degrees like I did tonight.

*all the school kids walking through the neighborhood every morning and afternoon.

I simply love everything about this time of year. I haven't met an Autumn I didn't like.

Ahhh....it even smells like Fall.

amanda - i looked after you said that the other day and there wasn't any in the grocery store I went to. I'll check this weekend when I try to buy some. Maybe I'll google it and see what I come up with. Hopefully there is not a shortage, that would be awful!

I agree...I LOVE Fall. It's our anniversary month, and it's fantastic!! I recommend going to Bath and Body works and getting anything you can in the scent of "Leaves"...a candle, a wall flower, hand soap, anything - it's the best fall smell!! I'm obsessed!!
