There's a lot to like about FALL!!!

I have been a big fan of SUMMER my whole life...but lately I've been giving FALL some serious consideration.  I've even come up with a list of reasons WHY...

football
playoff baseball
apple picking
apple pies
hoodies
fires
field hockey
Thanksgiving
pumpkins
Dayton and Livi's BDays
skinny jeans
wearing RED
scarves
FOLIAGE
calling it "Autumn"
flip flops when it's hot, boots when it's cold
field hockey
lingering hugs to take the chill off your skin
gourds 
 fantasy football
comfort food (i promise not to over-indulge)
big socks and comfy slippers
tailgating
less SWEAT!!
Christmas shopping 
FALLing in love
the lovely crispness in the air :)
long-sleeve thermals
HATS
the first time you can see your breathe :) 
heading north to go "peeping"
enjoying the beauty right outside our door
making game-day snacks for the boys
(especially my "potato chip chicken") 
heated seats in my new-used Volvo
FOOTBALL
My Dad doesn't obsess about the lawn QUITE as much
apple cider
PIG RACES and the SPENCER FAIR 
apple dumplings from the orchard down the street
sweaters
snuggling on the couch


...I'm starting to think AUTUMN is edging out summer...
Can you think of any reasons I missed??? :) :) :)

  4. You pretty much cover every reason to love Autumn. Oh, here's one... catching leaves as they fall. That is one of my favorite things to do during Autumn.
