10 things I like about Fall and 1 thing I hate
A few weeks ago my SIL posted a list of her top ten favorite things about Fall. I’m feeling inspired by the cooler, more Fall-like, weather that has finally settled into our neck of the woods, and thought I would do likewise. Here are ten things I like about Fall (in no particular order):
1. The sound of crunching acorns underfoot and the fact that it always makes Little giggle.
2. Baking yummy things with apples; especially our favorite apple cake.
3. The smell of wood fires on the air.
4. Wrapping up in my favorite quilt and snuggling in on the couch to read after the kids are in bed.
5. The feeling of crisp, cool air on my skin after months of heat and humidity.
6. Opening the windows.
7. A return to playing in the cove in the mornings and afternoons without fear of heatstroke.
8. Drinking hot beverages (coffee, chai, cocoa) any time of day.
9. Wearing jeans while maintaining a comfortable body temperature.
10. The approach and anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas, my favorite holidays.
And the one thing I hate?
Having to wear real shoes instead of sandals or flip-flops (and the disappearance of sweet baby feet into socks and shoes).
Hee hee… love the last one! So true! My baby didn’t even have socks to fit his feet until about a week or two ago!
Totally agree. It’s even been Fall-ish here. :o)
Oh yeah. I agree with the shoe and sock thing. That is the saddest part. I’ve had to wear socks this week, and since I’m a dork, I wear them with my crocs. It was summer-like in my classroom today because the heat was on crazy-high. We kept turning it off, and our next-door neighbor class would turn it back on! It must’ve been 85 in there. Good thing I had crocs on. I just took my socks off to cool down some:-)
Mmm Hmm I LUV fall. all of those are great things. This morning I stayed in bed an extra few minutes listening to the cold wind blow leaves off of tress. FAB-U-LOUS.
