And there are certain things that I just LOVE about the fall! (Clearly, I’ve been meaning to write this for a month, now, but there is no time like the present.)
Candy Corn
If you’ve ever eaten any (and how could you not have), this needs no further explanation.
Pumpkin Seeds
Not the kind in the bag you buy at the store, but the kind you bake, from an actual pumpkin. We did this one year in home ec. and I LOVED it! Yummy!
Pumpkins
Carved or not, I just like the look of them.
The Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Movie!
Fall Leaves
Now that I don’t have to rake any, they are just SO pretty! And, let’s face it, New York needs every bit of natural color it can get. The wearing of the blacks and greys all-year-round-but-especially-in-the-winter-time gets a little dreary.
Hayrides
In theory…and yes, I have been on one. Sitting in a truck filled with hay isn’t as comfy or as fun as it seems. Still, I like it.
Fresh Air
No explanation needed. Not that the air in NYC is any “fresher” in the fall, but the brisk fall air makes it circulate more and seem a little fresher.
Patterned Tights w/ Funky Prints
Either you get it, or you don’t. It’s just a personality thing.
Knee High Socks
So cute!
Leg Warmers
So toasty!
Sitting in front of a roaring fire
in my mind, as I have no fireplace here in NYC. But someone near me does and I love that wood-burning smell, even if I’m huddled in front of a heater…or two
Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows
Although I do enjoy this year ’round.
Lentil Soup
Although I do enjoy this year ’round, as well. I wish I knew how to make it for myself. Yummy!
Warm Blankets
If you can’t tell, I’m cold-natured, so I LOVE any and everything warm- especially blankets.
SETTING BACK THE CLOCK!!!
I know, it happens when you’re sleeping so do you really FEEL any difference when the clocks fall back? Probably not, but I’d like to think that I do. Besides, when it springs forward an hour, I KNOW I feel that…
Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour tonight chicas!
And tell me, what are you fall favs?
