Yay Fall!

It's fall! Hooray! I think that most people in the south anxiously await the arrival of the autumn season. Summer in the south can bring a lot of great things like night swimming that you just can't enjoy anywhere else, but right around mid-August the heat and the humidity can be down right suffocating. This past week or so has been a wonderful and refreshing change. These area few of my favorite things about the fall:

Cute fall clothes!



Large Tennessee Oaks with Fiery colored leaves



Pumpkin Spice and Chai Lattes on cool mornings. (non-fat of course!)



Holidays and all the event planning that comes with them!



Holidays and all the delicious food that comes with them :)



Crisp breezes at dusk as the smell of bonfires fill the air.



Candy Corn



Mums



Pumpkin farms, hayrides, and corn mazes




Basically anything with the words pumpkin and/or spice in the description.



Football (in small doses of course.)



Soups and Stews and other warm and filling comfort foods.



Gourds and other fall decor.



Babies in pumpkin costumes.



Miniature Take-5's



Popcorn Balls



Shopping in the middle of a weekday without having to battle loitering teenagers EVERYWHERE!

Lunching at Chick-fil-A midweek without elementary school kids running rampant through the restaurant.

Cuddling under the covers with my honey on a crisp night while we're trying to save money by waiting as long as we can before we turn on the heat :)

Happy Autumn Everyone!

fall is SO wonderful. It makes me want to go on a hike or camping.. I love the smell of the outdoors in the evening.

As clarification, miniature Take 5's are the ONLY halloween candy.
