10 things I love about fall

While others are complaining about the waning of summer, I'm anxiously awaiting the official arrival of fall. For as long as I can remember, it has been my favorite season of the year. While it takes me a while to get used to the sun setting so early, there are many things I love about fall:

10. The cool, crispness in the air

09. A hillside brilliantly lit up with vibrant reds, oranges and yellows

08. My mom's hot cocoa

07. Dad's Thanksgiving stuffing (which it looks I will probably have to live without this year...boo)

06. Long, leisurely walks in the woods

05. Driving down the rural road to my parents with the windows down, heat on high and music blasting...watching the fallen leaves kick up behind my car

04. Carving pumpkins (though unfortunately, it's been years since I've actually done it)

03. More evenings by candlelight - my particular fall favorite is pumpkin spice

02. Bundled in a cozy sweatshirt and blanket in front of a crackling fire

01. Sleeping with the windows open and snuggling under the comforter with my favorite person :)

How funny is this: those happen to be all of my favorite things about fall. Fall is my favorite season and I love it so much.
