Man, I love the fall. I mean I really love the fall!!! I know we're still very much entrenched in those hot summer days, but that cool weather we had last weekend gave me a taste of something I savor each year when it finally rolls around.
So many reasons to love the fall...
It's back to school time for kids (do I hear a collective "Yeah!" from you parents out there?
It's my birthday month (A "Yeah" from me, only, I'm sure).
Green leaves change to yellow.
Picking out pumpkins.
Yellow leaves change to orange.
Baking apple pies, pumpkin pies, blueberry pies (Do I hear a collective "Yeah!" from my co-workers?).
Orange leaves change to red.
Camp fires (roasting marshmallows a must!)
The Apply Harvest Festival in Arendtsville (I go every year!!)
Cool days, crisp nights.
Sweatshirts, socks, hot apple cider (with a twist - or without, whichever you prefer).
The wind.
My annual trip back home to Ohio where I meet-up with friends for dinner and drinks, and visit family members who I see way too seldom.
Hiking the Appalachian Trail in jeans and boots with my favorite dog.
Good thunderstorms.
One word: Halloween.
One more word: Thanksgiving.
Which leads me to two more words: stretchy pants.
I could go on and on... I mean I'm smiling just writing about it!! Happy fall everyone, albeit a bit premature!!
