Feeling Fall

Things I love about the autumn:

1. The leaves turning colour
2. Casseroles
3. Days that are clear and sunny but not oppressively hot
4. Kids are back in school
5. Stews
6. Birds at the bird feeder
7. Sweaters
8. Squirrels out gathering nuts (and other things that are too big for them to carry)
9. Harvest and markets
10. The smell of fires burning in people’s fireplaces as I walk by
11. Pumpkin bread
12. Deer coming by the back fence
13. More baking!
14. Red wine
15. Tea in the evening

Things I don’t love about the autumn:

1. Mornings get darker
2. Rain and more rain
3. November
4. Trees bare of leaves
5. Snow flurries
6. Unpredictable driving weather
7. Cold
8. The barrage of Christmas songs and commercials EVERYWHERE
9. Feeling sleepy and wanting to hibernate
10. Shops getting busier
11. Winter is coming

And YOU?
