Fall

What I love about Fall:

The cool, crisp air.
My breath before me.
The ground covered in dew.
My car's rear window defroster.
Shorts and a long sleeve shirt.
Leaves beginning to change color.
A gentle breeze.
The smell of autumn.
A bonfire and a good cigar.
Poker night.
The baseball playoffs.
The first fire of the season in my fireplace, and a good book.
The North Shore.
Trick or treaters.
Turkey.

What makes you come alive this time of year?

Isabelle and I jumped in the leaves today...it was quite fun.

My favorite thing about fall has to be the colors. They are so brilliant!

No, the first fire in the fireplace hasn't taken place yet - maybe this weekend. I'll supply the fire if you bring the GORP!
