Happy Autumn

As of Monday, September 22 at 10:29 p.m. autumn is officially here! I LOVE FALL! It is my favorite season by far. My favorite used to be spring, and I can't really pinpoint why that has changed, but nevertheless it has. I still love spring though. I want two weeks of summer, for the beach, two weeks of winter, for Christmas and New Years, and then I want the rest to be split between fall and spring!

Things to love about Fall!

• Apple picking
• First fires in the fireplace
• Snuggling under warm blankets
• The colors changing on the leaves - The Blue Ridge is an incredible place to see this
• The crunch of leaves beneath your feet
• Pumpkin patches and a corn maze
• Pumpkins and mums on people's doorsteps
• Burberry perfume - it is fall in a bottle. One spritz and you're cuddled up on the couch; eating something warm; smelling fires, deep tanons of red wine and brightly colored crisp leaves
• Brunswick stew, chili (red and white), jambalaya, gumbo, etc.
• Football and tailgates
• My Hunka Hunka Burning Love's birthday
• Going on walks with my HHBL and handing him every beautiful leaf, so that by the end he has an entire bouquet of the richest reds, oranges and yellows
• The bright, chilly breeze across your cheeks and through your hair
• Wearing scarves!

Welcome Fall, I'm so glad you're here!
