Hurray for Autumn

Autumn, just that word gives me the warm-fuzzies. So much to look forward to.


Top Ten Favorite Fall Things:

The County Fair
hot donuts, samples and giveaways, carnival rides, carnival people, The Ferris wheel after dark, giant vegetable contests, tractor pulls..


Soup
being amazing again, especially slow roasted stews


Bonfires
that last all night leading to sunrise watching, so what if I’ve only made it to sunrise a few times


Corn Mazes
when I was in my younger teens two friends of mine got lost in one for hours. This year someone finally explained to me they planned to leave for hours… Ooh


The Seasonal Fresh Fruit/Vegetable Treats
Pumpkin everything, Apple picking, end of season corn


NFL
time begins! Go Steelers!


That smell
in the air of everything fantastic and crisp


Blankets
being amazing again, combined with Hot Cider it’s the ultimate


Candy Corn
I love the way it makes your brain ache and your spit unnaturally viscous


Giant Crunchy Leaves
in brilliant colors and the patterns they make as they fall.
