The day started off drearily enough...grey, rainy, and cool. We are now, however, experiencing a truly beautiful fall day. The kind of day that's perfect for sweater wearing, and that brings to mind caramel apples and pumpkin picking.
Have I mentioned that fall, besides spring, is my favorite season? Even though nature itself is preparing for the cold and dark of winter, for some reason, fall makes me feel alive. As, flowers slowly fade away and the leaves abandon the trees, a different aspect of my nature seems to come alive. Perhaps because of my childhood, I have always connected a sense of well-being and peace with the Autumn season. Perhaps it has something to do with the warm orange, red, and yellow colors or the memories of numerous family gatherings that occur at this time of the year. Maybe it's a combination of both. Either way...I love it!
Because I'm weird and I like to make lists, I've decided to share with the world some of my favorite things about this season. Please feel free to comment and add your own favorites!
1. The weather is cooler( I hate nearly perspiring to death in July and August).
2. I get to pull out all my favorite sweaters and hoodies!
3. The leaves turn the most beautiful colors
4. Football starts( Go Colts!)
5. School resumes ( Yes, I do know that I'm a little on the weird side).
6. We can turn off the AC and leave the windows open!
7. For some reason...soup seems to taste better when it's cooler outside and the leaves are orange and red ;-)
8. Thanksgiving Holiday!
9. Bonfires and Roasting Marshmallows
10. Hayrides( even though the mold in the hay makes me sick lol)
