This time of year is my absolute favorite! I LOVE the fall! Living in Texas during October, my favorite month, and even November, is extremely hard for me knowing all the wonderful things I am missing out on.
Here is a list of some of the things I miss the most about AUTUMN...
I hope those of you in Utah, Michigan, Washington DC, Boise, and other areas where it is truly fall are enjoying all of these things that I am pining after. I just keep holding onto the fact that when you all are shoveling snow I will be basking in the sunlight and playing on the grass!Here is a list of some of the things I miss the most about AUTUMN...
- The cooler weather (those of you in Utah that just experienced snow will probably envy our 89 degrees today but we are SICK OF IT!)
- The changing leaves (I'm used to Sardine Canyon)
- Sweaters (Alone they sit... in the BOTTOM of my closet...)
- Jackets (I miss these a tad more than sweaters...)
- The start of school (for myself, not my husband)
- Apples (to make everything from apple crisp to caramel apples)
- The "Smell" of fall
- The anticipation of the holidays (it does exist here...but with no family to share it with)
- Blankets on the bed at night
- Pumpkins NOT rotting within 48 hours of carving them
- Trying to convince my mom to put up decorations for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!
- My mom baking cookies
- Eating fresh tomatoes from our garden.. along with fresh salsa
- Zucchini coming out of our ears!!!
- The other "foods of the harvest"
Happy October!
