It's September and Fall is quickly approaching. I don't know about you, but I am super thrilled! Fall happens to be my favourite season. What's not to love about it? Here are my top 10 favourite reasons why Fall is the best season:
1. A warm, cozy sweater on a crisp morning. Smelling the bite of frost in the air. Sitting on the porch, drinking a steaming beverage: hot tea, hot chocolate, apple cider, or chai. Better yet, Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spiced Latte.
2. Hunkering down, curling up. A sense of retreat and quietude.
3. The fall afternoons where the chill burns off and it gets warm—just enough so the kids still need long-sleeved t-shirts to run around outside. Wrapping a hand-knit scarf around my neck when I go for a walk. The smell of burning leaves outside as the shadows lengthen and the sun sets a little earlier each evening.
4. Fall festivals: crafts, fried dough, pumpkin painting, candy apples, making scarecrows.
5. Happy anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, but nothing stressful just yet. Thinking ahead, planning holiday menus, buying airline tickets. Maybe pick up an early gift or two… if I feel like it.
6. The colors of fall— the spectacle of leaves changing on the trees, bright orange pumpkins and yellow mums on folks’ doorsteps . Bales of hay and homemade scarecrows on the lawns.
7. Bubble baths, completely justified.
8. Time for comfort food: baked casseroles, mac and cheese, pancakes, soups and stews. Spice cakes, applesauce cakes, coffee cakes, carrot cakes. Halloween cupcakes made to look like spiders.
9. Fall Fashion of course.
10. My daughter's birthday! (October 29)
Looking at all these photo's just get me going. I can smell the Pumpkin Spice and Apple Cinnamon!
