I love Autumn!

  
     Autumn (fall) is my favorite time of year. You may be asking, "How can you like dead leaves, cold weather, and the days getting shorter?" Well, I just do! :) I love the feel of the leaves crunching underfoot. I love snuggling up under loads of blankets and watching movies. And since I'm a night owl, I love the feeling of having night to get things done. I feel more productive. I also love cooking and eating warm delicious food that taste just perfect during fall (I even like the fake pumpkin taste of the drinks at the local coffee shop!).  And, I believe that Autumn is perfect for romance. Thinking of movies like "You've got mail" just makes want to rush out and buy new NO. 2 pencils.You may be rolling your eyes and scratching your head with disbelief.
     So, perhaps Autumn isn't your favorite season or time of the year. Perhaps the idea of bundling up makes you want to move to the nearest desert. I understand but to help you get into the spirit of Autumn, here is a list of things that I hope to do before fall is over. Maybe you will discover some things you can do to help you enjoy this time of year.

1. Have a scary movie marathon (with friends since I get scared easily)
2. Have at least one pumpkin flavor drink from the local coffee shop.
3. Make cookies from scratch
4. Have a bonfire
5. Watch the entire 6 hour version of "Pride and Prejudice"
6. Go on a hay/tractor ride
7. Make soup from scratch
8. Redecorate my room
9. spend all day snuggled under blankets reading and drinking hot cocoa
10. Take pictures of the changing foliage.

     Here is to hoping that you have an awesome Autumn and perhaps will start to enjoy some of the beautiful things this season has to offer.
