It’s Love Thursday today!

I love the Fall season. I haven’t loved THIS year’s season as much as I normally might because it’s been raining so frequently which leads to dampness and chills and sitting inside. Overall though, Fall is my favorite season of all. I love the leaves changing colors and I love the way they crunch under my feet when I walk after they’ve fallen to the ground. I love the way Hayley picks up leaves on our walks and brings them home so that she can give them to George or decorate my desk with them.

I love the crisp feeling in the air and the need for thick sweaters or light jackets, and maybe even a scarf for good measure but without the ridiculous amount of layers and boots that winter calls for. I love the squash that’s in season, the pumpkins that people put out on their front steps, and the apple pies and apple crisps that taste so good on a chilly afternoon.

I love running aorund the park or hiking through the woods without overheating like you can so easily do in the summer months. I love the way the sun shines brightly without making you break into a sweat and the way the clouds make the sky more interesting without the threat of snow. I love taking my girls outside in this wonderful season.

Two girls, one rock, one edge of the woods, lots of fallen leaves.

One little girl who loves sitting on the grass to play with the fallen leaves.
