It's just getting to that most wonderful of times, so I want to document all the reasons to love the season!
I love the weather; the crispness and perfection of 60-70 degrees, the clear air, the colorful leaves and grasses. I love the outfits! Sweaters, vests, and boots are my jam, and fall color palattes work really well with my natural coloring. I love the food. Baked goods are my favorite food group, and my mom makes some really good ones. We have pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, apple cake, and chocolate zucchini muffins. I also love the transition to warmer comfort foods from lighter summer dishes. My family loves Indian food, and my dad is great at making it. My family is also big on tea, and I start getting back into it once it gets cooler. Bengal Spice, here I come! I love pumpkins and pumkin patches. My aunt and uncle used to have a pumkpin patch, and I have so many wonderful memories from going there every fall when I was little. I think that's one of the reasons fall is such a special season for me. I also love the music. I'm always into folk, but it's especially fun to listen to during this season. I love the hiking and late season sailing and scope for imagination that the season offers. The golden light and happiness I get in fall are bound together. I can't wait for all the poetry I'll write this season, all the outfits I'll wear, all the food I'll eat, all the family I'll see, all the thanksgiving I'll be filled with. Oh, and my birthday is in fall too! It's such a great season!
