Fall is coming soon...here are some things I love about fall...
#1 ~ Football ...Fight On USC!!
#2 ~ I can take a long walk, with my wife and dogs, and come home with the same size shirt as when I started out
#3 ~ I love the fall colors we have with the turning of the trees...OK...so we don't have that here in Southern California...but I love the pictures you all post!
I grew up in Minnesota and it was the custom in the fall to rake up the fallen leaves and burn them. I love the smell of burning leaves., don't know if they do that anymore due to environmental reasons.
Cinnamon/clove/allspice and all the wonderful smells that abound--through cooking, candles or whatever!
Baked Apples.
HALLOWEEN!
Opening the windows and doors.
Things just seem more bountiful in FALL! I guess the idea of harvests or whatever--possibly the ideas of Thanksgiving intertwined. Getting cozy with family and staying in.
HAVING INCREDIBLE WEATHER FOR RUNNING! RUN, RUN as fast as you can!
My fabulous woods and meadow scenery
Apples and their smell
The swish of walking through fallen leaves
My fall crocuses - "Naked Ladies"
Thanksgiving in October
Blue and gold days
Sweaters
The first fire in the woodstove
I could go on forever but won't.
Mums (My favorite flower)
Apples (Honeycrisp are coming next week to farmers market)
Bonfires (Going to one tonight)
Chili, Pumpkins, Halloween, Thanksgiving
We like taking a scenic train ride through the countryside when the leaves are different colors.
the smell in the air! that feeling when you know summer is ending.
i love pumpkins and halloween, and apple season!
The amazing colors here in Oregon- the trees are so beautiful.
not getting sweaty walking to the bus stop! wearing pants again.
It doesn't seem like fall here, yet, still warm and muggy...but:
I love the weather when it's cool... you can walk ANYTIME of the day... not just morning or night.
I love the turning leaves, and I love the smell of leaves burning.
I love going to the zoo and taking a picnic for the park.
I love knowing Thanksgiving is on it's way.
I love fall decorations, leaves, pumpkins, brown and yellow and orange.
I love a little bit of candy corn. It just doesn't taste good any other time of year...but once or twice in the fall is soooo yummy.
Pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie and pumpkin pudding with lots and lots of cool whip.
Fall is my favorite time of year, really. Seems I remember more good memories when I was a kid when it was the fall season...playing football, playing outside and my dad would actually come out and play with us because it wasn't too hot or too cold. He didn't play with us much, but when he did, it just seemed soooo much fun.
Fall is an amazing time of year...and it is really fun to look forward to the holidays coming around the corner.
