I love Fall!



I love Fall. It is my FAVORITE time of year! Summer is ending and the weather is getting cooler. That means a lot here in St. George. But I love Fall for the colors and the holidays. I grew up on the east coast and enjoyed seeing sights like in the pictures displayed. We would ride bikes along the canals near Washington's Crossing, eat picnics by the Delaware, and drive around the hills of Pennsylvania known as the "river hills". My life was full of colors. It's harder being in St. George and not having the abundance of trees and colors, but we do have some colors here in Fall. And we can start opening windows in the morning to get intoxicating fresh air inside. Plus my sweet husband takes me up to the mountains to see changing leaves every Fall. He knows I crave that.



I also love the holidays in Fall. Halloween is close in tying with Christmas for my favorite holiday. I love the decorations for Halloween and the fun spirit of it. And the kids get so excited to see witches and ghosts and even more pumped to go trick-or-treating. What's not to love? And Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on our blessings and pig out!

Every Fall we watch BYU football too! It makes me nostalgic for life in Provo and seeing the colors change on the mountains. What a sight! It also makes me think of crisp air, changing trees, fresh apples, bonfires, apple cider, visiting the pumpkin patch, warm apple pie, jumping in piles of leaves, homemade soup, and cool rainy days. I love Fall! It's in my blood. That's why I decorated on Tuesday for Fall. You see, we waste no time in our home. It's September and that means Fall is on the way!

I am so with you Sue. I've been thinking about the Fall decorations too! Did you have a cider mill near you? We did in Michigan and a big treat for us was to go visit the cider mill and get REAL apple cider and donuts, (the cake type) to eat with the cider. Oh, the memories! I love Fall!! Judy

Now I want cider and doughnuts. We didn't have a mill near us, but a farm that sold cider and fresh doughnuts! Yum!
