Ya'll, I have blogger's block.
I don't have any idea what to write about.
This is not good.
So I think I will make a list.
But what will it be about?
Hmmm.
I know.
Here we go.
Things I Enjoy About Fall
- The changing colors of the leaves on the trees. For those of you that live WAAAAAY down south, I do apologize. I will try my hardest to take some pictures once the leaves start a-changin' up here. My daily commute to work is a forty-five minute drive, (mostly) down a two-lane country road that runs alongside the Hudson River.
- Going apple picking. Miss Molly's preschool class is going on a field trip in the next couple of weeks, and they are going apple picking! I plan upon taking a personal day from work to accompany my little peanut to a local apple orchard.
- Pumpkins. Need I say more? Sad thing about this is the fact that they now sell those pumpkins that are made from acrylic, and you can't carve them, or roast the seeds. Sad.
- Cool mornings that require a light jacket.
- Drinking warm spiced apple cider.
- Candy corn. COME ON!
- Caramel apples. With chopped peanuts stuck to them.
- Scarecrows that people hang on their front doors. Although I haven't seen any in a long while, now that I think about it.
- Smelling the smoky, woody smell that accompanies someone who is burning leaves.
- Going for a walk and hearing the leaves crunch underneath my feet.
You know what? Looking back through all of these things that I have listed, I realize that the Lord has truly blessed us to have our five senses, because if one is lacking or missing altogether, I wouldn't be able to enjoy any of these things. He is a wonderful Father, and I forget the "small" blessings that He has given to ALL of us far too often.
Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone!

I absolutely love the fall mainly for the reasons you named! I love to decorate for fall...much more than Christmas. You have a lovely blog!
Fall is my very favorite season, too. I love what you did with the word "colors." So effective.
I can only imagine how lovely your commute to work must be. I've heard your part of the country is beautiful.
