fall: fifteen things
*The cool night air. I love sleeping under lots of blankets with the windows wide open. I love that the stars and the moon and everything feels so crisp and bright.
* Football games. I enjoy the sound of the crowds and the thrill of the game and losing yourself in the action. I like how it divides people and unites people and brings out loyalty.
* Being able to wear almost any shoe in your closet. Seriously. Sandals, Running Shoes, High Heels, Boots… everything works in the fall. How can you not love that?
* Hot Apple Cider and Chai Lattes on cold days. I love the smell, the taste, the warmth.
* New school supplies. I know I am adult and the sight of trapper keepers and unused notebooks shouldn’t excite me, but I love the beginning of the school year, when everything is fresh is new and possibilities seem endless.
* Bonfires. I love the smell. I love the contrast of the cool night air and the warm fire. I love toasting marshmallows and singing and cuddling up.
* The changing colors. Looking around and seeing God in nature.
* Jeans. Dressy jeans, messy jeans, jeans with holes in the knees. I love jeans in the fall.
* Halloween. Dressing up and carving pumpkins and passing out candy and remembering your inner child.
* Dinner Parties. Nothing like a good bottle of wine and a good group of friends on a cool day
* Fresh Corn on the Cob. I even eat it raw sometimes.
* Fall TV. New seasons and new shows.
* Candles. Being able to burn candles everywhere, and light them earlier because it gets darker sooner
* The stillness of the lake. The grayness of the water
* My Birthday is in October (17th).
