I am so excited that fall is almost here! It's my favorite time of the year, no questions asked. I keep checking the weather everyday, hoping to see the temperature creep down into the 50's/60's. Since the official start of fall is just around the corner, I thought I would share just a few of the reasons this magical season is my favorite in no particular order:
- Of course, the leaves! Even more specifically, the color of the aspen trees at my cabin. Every year, my family goes up there for conference and it almost always falls on the weekend when the aspens have reached their golden peak. Can't wait!
- The sound of leaves crunching underfoot
- Strolling through a pumpkin patch, searching for the perfect Cinderella-esque one
- When almost overnight, the air gets cool and crisp and you have huddle in your warm, cozy comforter in the mornings
- Scarves
- Coats! Coats! Coats! (anyone who knows me, knows I love a nice trench)
- Butternut squash soup
- I can justify wearing tights everyday, and thereby don't have to shave my legs as often ;)
- Halloween. Enough said.
- Curling up in front of a fire with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate
- My favorite shows are back (Modern Family and 30 Rock anyone?)
- My pale complexion is relatively less noticeable :)
- Football. Now, this one comes with a LOT of caveats, but there is something nostalgic to be said for the background noise of a football game.
- You are that much closer to being able to justifiably listen to Christmas music
- Back to school. I wasn't a fan when I was younger, but as I get older I really start to appreciate this one. Teenagers are pretty annoying for the most part, am I right?
- Boots. Finally!
- Flannel, tweed, corduroy, and so much more!
- Pumpkin pie, pumpkin-chocolate-chip cookies, pumpkin spice frappachino's from Starbucks
- Speaking of pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving and the only excuse all year to completely indulge and eat as much as possible.
- Making a complete mess carving pumpkins
To borrow a phrase, don't you just love fall? It makes we want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address...

PS whenever i am thinking of Christmas shopping and the holidays i think of you, i don't know why but i thought i would let you know.
love this post and i agree with every reason.
"where are my tic-tacs?"
I love the change in season especially from Summer to Fall. It is the start of the holidays and the greatest season for clothes. I can't wait! I absolutely love your quote and I could watch that movie a hundred times and not get bored with it. "What is that, what are you doing? That Caviare is a garnish." I don't know how to spell caviare?
