In addition to pumpkin spice everything, fall is here! Which means lower temps and less tourists - yay!
Fall
makes me happy. Maybe it is because it was always the start of a new
school year, but Fall to me feels like new beginnings and super fun
times. Lower temps mean I can do more things outside without sweating
profusely, we have some wonderful nights outside with the fire pit, and
there is way less traffic in our little one road town.
Summer
seems to come with a lot of pressure to have a great time all the time,
yet everyone I know works constantly, and the days I'm available for
beach fun times, it is always super crappy out. The things I used to
love about summer, shorts and tank tops, hold much less appeal now that
I'm older and a little softer. I do love swimming, but as I said, I'm
never free on nice days.
Yesterday was the first day
that really felt like fall, and I LOVED it! We didn't have to run the
AC's, I got some stuff done, and I sat on the deck and drank a hard
cider at the end of the day. It was delicious.
Soon the leaves will change and it will time to wear brightly colored sweaters. Yay!
Soups and fresh bread will be eaten, and down comforters will be added
to bedrooms. I know not everyone loves fall as much as I do, it does
lead into winter and all, but I am so excited! Stay tuned for hundreds of pictures of my dogs playing in leaves :D
