Fall is in the air. It may still be hot as blue blazes, but I can feel it in my bones! I can smell it in the air. When the wind blows it whispers that fall is coming...soon, or at least I hope so. Everything is good in the world during the fall. Crisp autumn days make me want to run through a forest like Pocahontas and live in nature all season long.
Alas, I love autumn. You want to know why I love it? Well don't worry your pretty little heads, I'll tell you!
I love:
- apples
- bobbing for apples
- caramel apples
- fairs & carnivals
- faris wheels
- stary skies
- colorful leaves
- the wind rustling leaves
- majestic mountains
- long hikes
- cabins with rocking chairs
- camping & campfires
- roasting marshmellows & making smores
- being wrapped up in cozy blankets
- fireplaces & the smell of burning wood
- drinking hot coco & apple cider
- sweaters, sweatshirts, scarves, fuzzy hats & boots
- my birthday!
- dressing up for Halloween
- being with friends and family on thanksgiving
- all things regarding pumpkins
- scarecrows
- and oh so much more!
I'm not the only who loves fall time. Here's some other famous people that do as well:
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." ~ George Eliot
"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer and oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all." ~ Stanley Horowitz
"October is a symphony of permanence and change." ~ Bonaro W. Overstreet
"I cannot endure to wast anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorn
"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are the as crisp as autumn air." ~ Eric Sloane
Autumn, please come quickly!

I was very happy to read this, and know there is someone else in the world who gets as utterly thrilled about Autumn as I do! It is a very exciting time of year, and like you said, you can SMELL it!!
Oh yeah! I went to the park today after work to "feel" it, but alas, it is still too hot to really enjoy it. I hope the weather gets cooler soon! You're right, Autumn is the BEST!
