Well, fall is here and we are loving every minute of it. The weather is cool and crisp, and we are spending as much time as we possibly can outside. I think that fall has to be my favorite season with the following as a partial list of some of my reasons why:
- Football Season--I love going to football games; dressing in the school colors and cheering for my favorite team
- Raking and more importantly JUMPING in autumn leaves
- Apple Picking and apple baking--pies, cobbler, crisp, applesauce, apple cider, YUM!
- School Starting--Not that I want to get rid of my kids, there is just something exciting about the beginning of a new school year.
- Hiking through the mountains to see the changing leaves and kick up some crunchy leaves
- Pulling out the cold-weather clothes
- Taking the kids to the pumpkin patch
- Hay rides
- The sweet crisp smell of the air
- Harvesting the garden (meager as it may be)
- My birthday
- Hunting for Monarch Butterflies on their southern migration
- Swinging in the Apple tree
- Watching a movie outside on the "BIG-BIG" screen
- Picking out Halloween costumes
- Going to a Farmer's Market
- Carving Pumpkins and roasting the seeds
- Making Homemade Doughnuts
- Watching the wind blow the dried leaves up into the air
- Listening to songs about the fall--"See you in September" and "September Morn"--who could beat Neil Diamond?
- General Conference
- Fall Picnics
- Canning--This one I have mixed feelings on--I really like canning, but it is a little tough with my three little "helpers" under foot.
