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.
What do you love about fall?
