It's a Good Thing

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

Seriously, I am no Martha Stewart but there are so many "good things" I just love about fall...

  • Fresh mums begging for a beautiful urn and a porch to adorn
  • Pumpkin picking
  • Hot apple cider, homemade
  • Crisp and cool evening air
  • The first wood fire crackling in the fireplace
  • Hues of the changing leaves: gold, crimson, and copper
  • Chevre and cranberry salad with pears and champagne dressing
  • The start of the holiday season
  • Decorated yards, pumpkins everywhere
  • Muscadine grapes and grape picking
  • Wine festivals
  • Making Connor real hot cocoa on the stove, from scratch
  • Pulling out the hats and gloves and hand-knitted scarves
  • Fresh green fall fescue lawns
  • Feeling the dirt in my hands as I clean up the garden, all of the earthly smells
  • Fall festivals
  • Christmas shopping
  • Time outdoors without the oppressive heat and humidity of summer
  • Sleeping with a cool breeze flowing through an open window
  • Hearing the owls hoot, again, through open windows
  • Halloween and all of the little ghosts and goblins
  • Baseball's World Series
  • Pro-football season
  • Playoffs
  • Macy's Thanksgiving's Day Parade
