I love ~love ~love Fall… Eeeek! I get so excited even talking about it. I can’t wait for the official first day of Fall: September 23rd. What do I love about this fabulous time of year? Oooooh, let me share…
1) Fall Coffee Drinks :: Pumpkin Spice K-cups — with a small spray of whipped cream. Yummy! I have a box on the way that I ordered last week. Super duper excited! I also have a mad crush on the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. September 6th was like a national holiday for my sister and I. I’m sure we drove our FB friends crazy with all the rambling we did about the Pumpkin Spice Latte. If you haven’t had one — shame on you! {wink}. They are delish!
2) Wineries!! I love going to the wineries with friends, enjoying live music, snacking on cheese and crackers and making memories. Defiance, MO has a bunch of fun ones!
3) Fall Decorating — pumpkins, indian corn, gourds, pinecones, acorns, hay bales and anything else I may have forgotten. Mine is done already for this year, but I tend to find a ton more inspiration throughout the season and add some things here and there. Did I mention how much I love Fall???
4) Cooler temps {yay!} Which means sweatshirts, light sweaters… maybe even a chance to pull out some of my cute boots {yay again}! Aaand we might get to start using our wood burning fireplace. This is all dependent on the weather (of course), but I just love cozying up in front of the fireplace — listening to the the wood crackle! It’s also very romantic.
5) Fall Foliage. I always miss upstate New York during the Fall… they have beautiful foliage. When I was recruiting, I looked forward to doing the graduate fair swing in upstate New York (Buffalo, Alfred, etc) — even if there was a chance of a blizzard {no, I’m not kidding}.
6) Thanksgiving! I {heart} thanksgiving — lots of turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, apple crisp and a holiday to be extra thankful for the many blessings God has given to us!
7) Bobby’s Old Fashioned Hand Dipped Caramel Apples (click here to see post from last Fall). I haven’t had one yet, but I did have a sighting at our local Schnuck’s. I am ready to grab my keys and go get one now.
8) Chili! I {heart} a good bowl of chili with a slice of corn bread. Oh goodness gracious, there is way too much food talk in this post. I’m getting hungry {smile}.
9) My anniversary! My hubby and I met on November 20th, 2005. We were engaged on November 3rd, 2007 and married a little under a year later on November 20th, 2008. Fall is for lovers (or is that Virginia? hee hee. I’m such a dork). November is a very happy month!
10) Pumpkin Patches. Although we don’t have children, I always enjoy a trip to Rombachs Farm. I love watching all the kiddos run around and strolling through all the fun little spots. It’s so stinkin’ fun and seasonal!!
Soooo, what about you? What are your favorite Fall goodies? Check out my Fall is Fabulous Pinterest board too!! Maybe you’ll find some inspiration…
keep living and laughing, friends.
