Fall...

What I love about fall!

 

 

This blog was just inspired by my cousin's blog...

• Candy corn and peanut mix on the kitchen counter.
• Walking outside and smelling the change in the weather.
• Burning apple cider/pumpkin pie/whatever fall scent candles.
• Running can sometimes be enjoyable
• Pulling out all my sweaters again.
• Decorating with pumpkins, gourds, leaves, etc.
• The fact that you don't have to mow your lawn for too much longer.
• Being able to wear my jackets again.
• Watching the change in the trees...beautiful oranges, yellows, reds, browns...
• Wearing Hats. Scarves. Mittens
• Thanksgiving and family time. 
• The changes in everything... life, emotions, fashion, nature, goals, etc.
• Being able to eat as much as you want and your thick clothes don't even show it.
• SCARVES!
• Fresh apple pie.  (Which me and 2 of my friends just made yesterday)
• Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
• Studying???  well sometimes I try to like it!
• Apple orchards.
• Wearing sweat pants to bed... and maybe even a sweat shirt.
• Apple cider.
• How refreshing it feels after a humid summer.  
• Lower electricity bills
• How mosquitoes start disappearing.
• Outside football games
• The smell of my home because my mom always puts a cinnamon flavored decoration right inside the front door.
• Carving pumpkins.
• Bonfires.
• Pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream and whip cream.
• The bridge on Highway 20, halfway between Cedar Falls and Story City... a beautiful valley with MILLIONS of trees.
• Being only 7 months away from my wedding.
• How it is so vivid that God is still in control and blessing us at each moment.  
• The fact that people are so joyous and love the weather most of the time.
• The sound of leaves blowing across the sidewalks.
• Pumpkin spiced lattes.
• Corn mazes... even though I've never been to one!
• How the boots can once again make their way out of the closet.  
• Jumping in leaves.
• Little trick-o-treaters in their princess and superhero costumes.
• To see God's creativity at work.
