Autumn!

Well it's officially Fall now and I love it! This day has been amazing outside and I wish I could spend so much more time outdoors. Even here in Texas, I love it. Why do I love the Fall? Well let me count thy ways...
I love the fall because
it's starting to get cool enough to wear sweatshirts and jeans, but you don't have to wear a coat or shiver when you go outside.
great smelling candles like cinnamon vanilla and sweet apple filled tarts (I have these!)
the warm foods like apple crisp and chili
going to pumpkin patches and on hayrack rides
driving with the windows down
chilly mornings and warm afternoons
starting up another new school year and seeing old friends
you can turn off the air conditioner in the apartment!
making warm drinks like chai tea and hot chocolate
raking up leaves and jumping in the piles (I wish I could do this still, maybe in a few years...)
caramel apples
fall festivals and fairs
football season
all the pretty leaves on the trees

I love that God created all the seasons-- what a wonderful and amazing thing to do! Every day that I can spend outside, I thank Him for His creation and let Him know how very much I appreciate all He has blessed me with. Happy Autumn everyone!
