Why I Love Fall

Fall.

It is a season that I never used to love. It was cold and involved getting up early for school. But as I get older, I have come to LOVE fall. Here are a few reasons:

  • The leaves turn into colors that cannot even be categorized. I have nearly wrecked my car many a time driving past Drake Park, staring at the trees.
  • I love that it's getting cold outside, but when I get in my car it's nice and toasty from the sun.
  • I love, repeat love, watching families gather outside and play in the leaves.
  • I love all things pumpkin...only for the short fall season. Try to feed me pumpkin pie in April and I might vomit.
  • I love the expectancy that is almost tangible in the air. Other seasons seem to sneak in, but fall is like a beautiful, colorful dance that brings out the child in you.
  • Daylight savings time is my best friend (but only in the fall)
  • When it's over, I get to look forward to Christmas!

Why do you love fall? Is it the leaves? The weather? Football? Or do you, like I did so many years ago, believe that fall is just the nagging precursor to a horrible winter? I hope not, because that's just sad.

Well, I've said what I wanted to say, and now I shall leave you with this thought: 62 shopping days until Christmas! :)

P.S. I looked over my past blogs and decided I have to get back into this...can somebody help me update my look?
