It's here. Rather than complain about the fact that summer is over, I'm listing the things I like about fall.
the forgotten feeling of taking socks off, the autumn smell...the beautiful crisp morning air, the amazing colors (how can dying be so pretty?), pumpkins, costumes, family feasts, apples & cider, pear crumble, using the oven again, opening the windows after work, school (even though I'm not in it...for now), the temperature inside the car after it has sat for a few hours, hay rides, leaves blanketing the sidewalk, leaves that you can't avoid kicking up as you walk through them, short-sleeved sweaters, planning winter travels, first fires, decorating for the season, the smell of leaves burning in the country, gorgeous fire-colored sumac trees, less lawn mowing, wind gusts that make you laugh because they prevent you from accomplishing simple tasks, five-finger turkey drawings, waxed paper and crayon leaf pressings, stews and chilis, the warm fuzzy feeling as you hunker down and prepare for the cold days ahead
