What I Love About Autumn

Friday, September 3, 2010 |
Autumn is absolutely my FAVOURITE time of year!  And for me it begins Septmber 1st.  Infact, the other day it was a dreary day.  Gray and cloudy... and I was in the best mood ever!  Dancing around, singing, smiling continuously....  Why?  Because I can feel fall in the air.  It's crispness, yet warmth.  So I was driving through the country and being in such a good mood that cloudy, cool day I got thinking as to what I love most about Fall.  And well, I thought I would share it with you.

Number 1:
I love when the kids go back to school.  Not because I don't want to be around my kids, but because of number 2 below.


Number 2:
I LOVE organizing!  And as much as I love my kids, and being with them and around them, I can't wait to get some time on my hands and sort, chuck, organize, and beautify my surroundings.  I love it!

Number 3:
The colours.  Ahhh, warmth.  I love all the vibrance.  Taking walks in the Fall makes me happy.


Number 4:
Cooking.  I just can't handle cooking in the summer (it's hot, and I don't want the oven on, or time wasted being indoors).  But come the cooler weather, and I love being in the kitchen.  And I love cooking homemade soup.  (We had potato soup last night already! Yum)

Number 5:
Baking!!  I prefer baking to cooking.  I enjoy both, but I love baking in the middle of the afternoon.  And I love trying new recipes!


Number 6:
Harvest.  There is nothing prettier than driving through the country and seeing all the farmers out in their fields scattering hay bales everywhere.  It makes me feel at home.

Number 7:
Pumpkins.  These bright orange vegetables are so cheery. I love seeing them on porches.  I try to have them around as long as I can.


Number 8:
Family photos.  I prefer my family photos in the Fall, I like warmer colours.  My sister does photography, she took this picture of my hubby and me.  You can look at more of her work here.


Number 9:
Hot drinks.  There is nothing better than a warm drink to chase away chills, and make you feel more relaxed.  I love having hot chocolate.


Number 10:
Slippers!  I hate wearing socks, and will wear flip flops for as long as I can, but come cooler weather and I LOVE my house slippers, they make my feet happy.


Number 11:
Candlelight.  I have always been in love with their warm glow.  I have many lanterns (remember my collection).  And I light them all the time in Autumn and Winter.  It makes my home feel cozy and welcoming.


Number 12:
Sweaters, and blankets.  I love being wrapped up.  It's like a hug when you can pull a warm blanket around you.  I also love those long thick sweaters with a tie.  They are like a housecoat, but a little more chic!  Just wrap me up!!
