It's Coming. I can feel it. September is ending soon and once it does...
The air is getting cooler. The days are getting shorter. I love Autumn. I love just about everything about it - except that it always ends too soon. Autumn makes me happy. Do you want to see a list?
I love the minor key that Autumn's music seems to be in.
I love that my kitchen gets warm with pie baking and cozy foods like Turkey, mushroom & wild rice stew and apples.
I love apple season.
I love that my dear friend & her husband come up and we go to the Pumpkin patch with the twins and then Apple Picking.
I love the cooler weather.
I love raking up the leaves (I really do!).
I love watching the leaves change color. My neighbors have this tree that glows throughout November before it finally gives up its leaves to the constant battery of the wind and finally shivers them off, blanketing the ground in bright orange, yellow and red. Fabulous!
I love autumn clothes - I love long sleeves and jeans and SOCKS.
I love to nestle in with my sweet husband in the evenings and play cards or Scrabble and drink tea.
I love that October means Halloween and I love Halloween.
I love November 1st. I think it's the best day of the whole year that isn't a holiday or my birthday.
I love that November is the best month of the whole year. It's my favorite.
I love that the whole season comes to a head on Thanksgiving, which is my favorite holiday.
I love our Autumnal trip to see my big brother and his wife (and now son!) in North Carolina.
I love grey days.
I love the breeze.
I love that it's cooler with warm breezes - not like Spring that's warming up with cold breezes.
I love the golden glow in the evenings.
I love that Autumn seems to loom. It seems like starting in July I know it's coming. The shadows get longer, the days get shorter and you can FEEL it in the air. I love that.
I love that I can wear my snuggly pants in the evening and not get sweaty.
I love the cookies.
I love the colors.
I love the idea of Autumn.
It's really nice.
