Autumn is Coming

Whenever someone asks me what my favorite season is, I always have a hard time coming up with an answer. I love ALL the seasons. Recently though, I figured something out... The truth is, what I really love is the change of seasons. I love looking anticipating the adventures and newness that each season brings.

And now, I am loving the advent of Fall. The air smells different. The weather is different. I know we may have a few more days of warmth left, but I just love the feeling of change.

Here are some of the things that Fall brings (to me):

Saying goodbye to the summer greenery, just for a time


Packing away my sandals to replace them with closed-toed winter shoes



Romping in the yard now that we are free from Summer's sweltering heat




(And maybe taunting the cat while we are at it)


 Laying in the grass to watch the clouds drift by


Greeting my sweet dogs as they wait in anticipation at the door for me to come home from school



Seeking the comfort of a warm blanket as the mighty afternoon thunderstorms roll in



Prickly pine-cones and crunchy leaves drifting downward from their homes high in the tree tops




Are you ready for Fall?
