Oh I just love it! The weather is getting cool and crisp and visions of corn stalks and pumpkins are dancing in my head hehe! I just love fall! I love the colors and the smells. My candles go spicy and the sweaters start making an appearance. Matt looks so good in sweaters…just another reason I have to love fall since I got married hehe. Fall is just so festive. I love summer and all of the fun that goes with it, but I love being able to curl up at home with a cup of hot tea and a book without feeling guilty too! And of course I am a big lover of holidays so this is the time when that anticipation starts. I am thinking about a Halloween costume for Matthew, new recipes to start trying for Thanksgiving, lots of birthdays come this time of year, and of course I have already started making preparations for the homemade side of Christmas. I am not crazy about the Christmas buzz starting this early when it comes to commercial stuff, but I make a ton of necklaces and jar treats every year and so things like that naturally have to start early. I made a couple necklaces yesterday just to get back into it, but I ended up making them both for me (hehe) so I consider them more of a warmup lol. I just looooove fall! Can’t wait to see what the season brings photographically speaking…haven’t given the old camera much of a workout lately (my hobbies tend to fall away when I get bummed) but I am looking forward to getting back to my daily practice with that. AND I cannot wait to get Howie his new retractable leash so we can get back to hiking in this gorgeous weather. The naughty puppy chewed through the last one so he has been grounded for a couple weeks until we could afford a new one. He is just too strong for me to take him hiking on his normal leash. I would have to walk like 20MPH! LOL. In closing I shall share my first grade poem that was published in the Young Authors of America anthology hehehe…
FALL
When it is Fall
I hear nothing at all
But leaves falling
And bugs crawling
Fall, Fall, Fall
…oh yes, the judges could sure recognize talent when they chose my poem…it is just so deep and complex in nature! hehe…I think they just liked my bug drawings on the copy my teacher submitted LOL.
p.s. I <3 Fall
