Appealing Autumn

There are so many things that I totally LOVE about Autumn. Smells, colors, warm clothes, hot drinks...all that good stuff is just so appealing to me :)
My favorite season is probably late Spring/early Summer, but Fall is definitely my second!

Here's the stuff I love most about Autumn:


1.) Good smelling CANDLES (cinnamon, pumpkin pie, etc.)
We actually got a 'candy corn' candle last year. The wax was even orange white and yellow! And it DID smell like the candy! It was awesome!

2.) Millions of COLORS
When all of the trees are finally turned color, I start seeing things in their shades. There's this one tree that turns bright orange and red every year that makes me think of a giant mango. And this other one that turns a perfect yellow...those little banana candies. RUNTS, I think their called. Lol ;)

3.) Warm CLOTHES
I LOVE wearing cute sweaters, colorful socks, warm hats and comfy sneakers! My goal this year is to get a pair of those awesome socks with toes! They look totally me! (awesome and lil' scary at the same time, heh-heh!)

4.) Hot DRINKS
I love my coffee. We're best friends. LOL
This is actually going to be the first winter I drink it. I'm so excited! I didn't last year...It's funny. I drank steaming hot coffee all Summer long! ;)
Hot Apple Cider is my second fav' in the "warm beverages" variety. So yummy! xo

5.) VISITING
One of my most favorite things to do during the Holidays is visit my relatives and friends. Just the warm sense of security and love that seems to swallow up the atmosphere makes me feel so blessed and wanted.

6.) Putting up DECORATIONS
Decorating is much fun for me! Hanging up wreaths and taping paper chains is so enjoyable to my taste! Oh, and those little pumpkin and autumn-flower center pieces? Cute to the extreme!

7.) SMELLS in general
Now, I'm not just talking Pumpkin Pie and Turkey here (both of which are amazing!)...I also mean the smell of Autumn itself. That scent you sometimes catch when your at a baseball game or when the grass has just been cut...or even right after it's rained. The smell of Autumn...nothing like it.

8.) Different SOUNDS
The sounds of crunching leaves and falling nuts. "Sigh". Its funny how something so noisy could seem so peaceful...like nature is working just the way it should.

9.) The FOOD
OH! The wonderful food! Delicio!!!
Cranberry sauce, potatoes, soups, turnkey, roles, deviled eggs....HURRAY!!!!!

10.) SQUIRRELS
Yes, Squirrels. Chipmunks too! Those tiny things look so adorable stuffing their faces! Gives me that feeling when you lift your eyes brows, do 'the lip' and squeak: "AAAAAWWWW!!!!". .....or at least I do. wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one, it is pretty freaky. Lol

*************************
In short...I'm very excited that Autumn is here!
Or maybe it's just that Thanksgiving is coming up....oh well. Lets just say I'm looking forward to both :)
