Summer has fallen.
October 22nd, 200410 reasons why I love the fall:
1. Soup. Soup is good when it is cold outside.
2. Blankets. Nothing feels better than getting warm under a blanket.
3. Space heaters. Mmmm. Direct heat on your cold feet. Who could ask for more?
4. Carbohydrates. And lots of them. Bread, potatoes, yams… somehow when fall comes around, I consume more carbs.
5. Hot chocolate. But seeing as I could list a million things in the “warm tummy feeling” category, I will stop with soup and hot chocolate and hope that you understand that I like being warm inside and out, unless it is summer.
6. Rain. I love rain. In fact, I wish it would thunderstorm here. We only get lightning if we get anything at all.
7. Changing vine leaves. This is the only thing comparable to the most awesome fall phenomenon in PA. Driving through Napa or Sonoma county and seeing all of the leaves on the grape vines change to a vibrant red before falling off.
8. Fog. Yes driving is hard, but it gives everything such an awesome allure. Something that can only be recreated in Photoshop.
9. Clean air. This is mostly because of the rain. Keeps the small particles out of the air and stops fires from spreading.
10. Books. Can’t go hiking in the rain. Don’t like driving on the freeway in the rain. Don’t like standing outside waiting for the bus to take me to work in the rain. So what do I do? Stay home, in bed, with the blankets, space heater, hot chocolate, and a book. ALL DAY.
Why do you love the fall?
