What I Love About Fall
As I was browsing Facebook the other day, I noticed that my friends Noah and Leah were celebrating Christmas in July. While some might call this absolute craziness, it comes as no surprise to everyone that knows Noah and knows that he is a Christmas fairy (that’s code for "way too enthusiastic").
Hearing about how much fun they had made me miss not only the Christmas season, but fall as well. I LOVE fall. It reminds me of Joe Fox in You’ve Got Mail when he says, "Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address."
While I’m going to try my best to enjoy the rest of summer, here are some of the things I look forward to in the fall:
- Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks
- Breathing in the crisp autumn air while looking at the red and orange leaves against a clear blue sky
- Seeing the kiddos go back to school and the school buses roll through
- Going to high school football games
- Going to Stuckey Farm and walking through the orchard picking apples and going through the pumpkin patch!
- Apple cider and pumpkin pie!
- Gathering around a bonfire and sipping hot chocolate and warm apple cider
- Hay rides!
- Halloween and staying in to watch scary movies
- Trick-or-Treating!
- Okay, for the sake of many of you out there, it’s good to see college and pro football back in action.
- The anticipation of the Thanksgiving and Christmas season and the prospect of snow!
