As much as I am a lover of summer I do have a high appreciation for fall. I thought for today, I could list 5 reasons why.
1. I love, love, love the changing colors of the leaves. The yellows, reds and orange make everything look so beautiful. Unfortunately, the changing of colors means those leaves are going to end up falling to the ground. It prepares us for the new things to come and I can appreciate that.
2. Fall is a time when my husband begins reminding me that it's soon time for me to start making pumpkin rolls. I do love the taste of pumpkin rolls but I do not enjoy pumpkin pie. I can also enjoy the taste of pumpkin spice coffee. I actually prefer apples, though. September is the time we purchase apple cider and it's enjoyed by all four of us. If we can squeeze in the time, we also spend quality time picking apples at a nearby orchard.
3. Autumn is the season of my birthday. It also ends with my son's birthday.
4. It's the start of football season, and although personally I'm not a big fan of the sport I appreciate that my husband and son are. Just seeing the joy in their faces as their team wins. Now since our kids are in marching band we have been spending every Friday at the high school stadium watching the game and seeing them perform on the field.
5. Going from hot to cool is a little difficult for me but I do enjoy having the chance to snuggle under a soft blanket and wearing sweaters and pants. Sweat shirts are my absolute favorite.
What is your favorite thing about Autumn?
How much time do you have?? LOL! I love fall for the same reasons you do, my friend. All of the above. Friday night football games? I can still feel the excitement of those from so many years ago. My mom used to make us hot cocoa and butter toast when we got home. I also enjoy October for what it is to me...a long pause before the joyous but hectic days ahead. Hugs to you!
