Fall is a favorite season for many and as I said yesterday I think for me it is a time to slow down and nest; to take time to appreciate the little things in life and the ones I enjoy the most.
As I was reading your comments and the things that you mentioned that you liked I decided to write my own list of the things I enjoy most about Fall.
My 30 Favorite Things About Fall:
1. Pumpkins to carve or just enjoy as nature intended.

You have captured Fall beautifully. I love the sound of football games on the telly too (we do pay to get American ESPN, but with the time zones, they start at dinnertime), and all the cozy food. Cozy blankets. Cozy, cozy, cozy
I think you covered every single one!!!!! I also love taking pictures in the fall (like to PRETEND I am a photographer) but no other season is as beautiful in my eyes. I love all your reasons and could not agree more, I call it the cozy season and I cannot wait!
Good morning dear friend!
I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED! The fact that many of these things slows me down to rest and cozy up is enough for me to embrace. I am off this morning to my first substitute teaching assignment, so I am happy about that.
I still haven't heard from Adsense…hmmmmm. I wonder what I did wrong?
HAVE A GREAT DAY! Anita
I love your list! It is making me happy about fall. I need to make some of the goodies you mentioned in your list! 😀 LOVE this post. It has made me smile!
The list of your fall items is great. I love it getting all cozy with the chillin air. I am still like a kid I love candy corn.

Hi Elizabeth! I am embarrassed to say I have just discovered your beautiful blog…:) but wow what a treat! I share SO many things on your fantastic list…so much to love….all best to you and I thank you for your wishes for my parents! xxoo~A
All the things you mentioned, dear friend! The colors of the leaves take my breath away, the cooler air, the "excuse" to get cozy and nest….so many reasons to love this splendid time of year.
And I see some pumpkin white hot chocolate…we had some the other day, and I'm making pumpkin pie today with the rest of the canned pumpkin…yummy.
What are you baking up this weekend?
Love to you!

Baking with spices, and apples, and pears, and pumpkin, and molasses… baking. 🙂 Sweaters, changing leaves, crunchy leaves, misty mornings, chilly walks, frost, hot apple cider, silent fall evenings, the smell of woodsmoke, getting ready for Christmas!!
Going outside this Sunday morning with the dogs and standing under the sugar maples that are a giant umbrella of green in the summer, now yellow with the leaves drifting down on us in the dark drizzly day, feeling a shiver of anticipation that something wonderful could happen at any moment. And agreeing with your list and the above comments. This is it–the reward for a long hot summer.
The only thing I do NOT like is it getting dark at 5PM. I LOVE daylight saving time and wish it was light til 8 or 9 every night of the year! I love the smell of spice candles, cozy socks, chili, soups, a fire in the fireplace and MY NEW HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
