1) The leaves. I love seeing the trees go from greens to reds, yellows, and oranges. Our neighborhood is spectacular during this time of year because all the trees turn this bright red. I also love watching the leaves fall from the trees. Oooo...so beautiful!
2) A little....only a little... chill in the air. Things are starting to cool off again...but not too much. The sun is still out, there is no snow, but there a slight crispness in the air. In the morning, I love to step out onto our deck and just breathe in the crisp fall air.
3) Sweaters....I LOVE sweaters! This is the time when I can start pulling out all my big comfortable sweaters!
4) Pumpkin Patches...there is nothing better than going to a pumpkin patch and picking out a pumpkin.
5) Apple cider....hot or cold. Fresh apple cider bought directly from an apple orchard of course. YUMMMY!
6) Cute and spoooooky Halloween decorations are going up! This is always a fun event at our house. Craig has been adding to our Halloween scene every year. Last year, we got a lot of great comments from the kids....but this year we have to bring it up a notch. I'm not sure what he has in mind just yet...but I do know he has been talking a lot about a fog machine!
7) Decisions on what to be for Halloween...not just for kids! We have a pretty competitive costume contest/party to prepare for....and we really have to get creative!
8) Holidays are just around the corner! Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas....all in the span of just three months! That means we get to spend lots of time with friends and family! Oooo...yes....I love making all our holiday travel plans!
9) Popcorn balls! Every year, Craig and I make popcorn balls....every year they get a little more edible. It is always fun to see how they turn out and we usually get a lot of laughs in the kitchen.
10) Last but not least...Fall smells....leaves, pumpkins, spices, candles, berries, wood stoves, apples...
