Fall is my favorite time of year, and I realized that while most people celebrate Labor Day as one last hurrah for Summer, in my mind it marks the start of Autumn. I love when the weather gets a little cooler and you don't melt when you go outside. I love when the leaves start changing and the world gets so colorful. I love seeing students walking to and from school in their brand new clothes and new backpacks. I love jackets--not coats, jackets--and weather that doesn't require bundling but just layering. I love the food that goes along with fall--pies, gingerbread cookies, dinner in a pumpkin. Bonfires, Corn Mazes, Hiking...its all so fun!
I guess the best thing about fall is that I see it as a new beginning. The last couple falls I haven't started school, but it still feels like it fits, that you get to start a new year and set new goals and decide once again who you are and what you're going to do with your life.
So here's to fall, and all of our new beginnings!

me too! i LOVE fall!
You are CRAZY! Labor Day to me is so sad, the end of the happiest season in the world! This morning was cold, and it really did make me feel like fall was in the air. I think I dread fall just because I know the deathly winter that it is about to bring. I will try to think about fall like you and maybe I will learn to like it.
i enjoy autumn too...but i don't like thinking about what comes after!!!

Cute post! I so need to have your attitude about fall. I have no problem with fall, but to me it signals winter being right around the corner. If only it would stretch on, and on. . .
Yeah, I love fall too! I love the smells of fall the best! When are you going to be down this way, we need to do lunch!
I LOVE the comment about jackets... they will always make me think of you... and how I aim to have as many (and as stylish ones) as you... and of course as our VM....
I am so jealous! I love and miss fall so much! Send me some cold air so I can wear a jacket!
