looking forward to fall

Summer is winding down and I'm excited for Fall. I love Fall! Today was the first cool day we've had without humidity and I think it was a fluke, but I really savored it. I walked to work this morning, took a walk at lunch, and walked home from work- so nice. Students are back in school and it reminds me of the excitement of those first school days, fresh school supplies, new clothes, so fun! Here's what I'm looking forward to this fall. What are you looking forward to?

Fall goodness...
  • crisp, cool sunny days
  • beautiful sunsets
  • apple picking, apple pie, apple butter, cider
  • pumpkins, pumpkin pie
  • leaves changing
  • colorful mums
  • tourists leaving the city and enjoying the mall and museums again
  • soups! I can't wait to make a lot of yummy stews and soups.
  • squash from the farmer's market
  • the smell of firewood burning
  • Halloween and seeing the cute kiddo costumes
  • Thanksgiving
