I do it every year! I am ready for Fall NOW! It's not time yet, I know. But you know I am ready because today I wore pants, socks and tennis shoes. Yes, I realize it was 92 degrees out today, I don't care.............I am ready for Fall! I'm going to get out my Fall box of decorations, my favorite Fall scented candles and ready or not..........it's going to be Fall at my house! I am tired of hearing a fan blowing 24/7.............I have started unplugging it in the morning, irritated by its constant hum. I am tired of trying to keep the house cool, tired of sweating, I'm even tired of wearing my flip-flops! (This annoyance will pass, as I do wear flip-flops all year round) I am ready for those crisp, Fall mornings, turning on some livingroom lights in the evening, new Party-lite candles burning some pumpkin spice scent, and eventually a fire in the woodburner. I love the colors of Fall! The whole town has a golden hue! Oranges, yellows, magentas.........absolutely breath-taking!! I love the cozy, warm feeling of Fall. I want to hide my arms in a longer sleeved blouse, I want to wear a sweatshirt, I want to look out my window and see some green grass and brilliant colored trees! Little minor problem, using our headlights at 5:30 at night, I do not see well driving at night! I drove home from Steph's the other night after shopping for school clothes and I was truly having difficulty seeing. I think I even mentioned "I'm never driving at night again!" Maybe I will need a chaueffer! Kristen? Are you available? Oh, and the baking! Banana bread, zucinni bread, pumpkin bread, potato soup! Those of you who know me very well are thinking, "I didn't know Debbie baked..........she barely cooks!" I plan on baking this year, some yummy Fall recipes! Can't wait! Anybody else share my enthusiasm for Fall?!
Fall is my very favorite, but having lived through a New England fall a few years ago, it is a little sad to not be living where the leaves change so beautifully! I love jeans and sweaters....last week I noticed the change in the air for fall, and then of course is was 106 degrees yesterday. It's coming, I have faith!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit the New England states, especially in the Fall. So, it sounds like it is as beautiful as I have always heard!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have faith, too. It is coming. It was cooler today and I believe it will continue!
I did get my Fall decorations out :)
