Things I love about fall....

• Leaves running across the road like cats.
• The sawdust smell of a fallen branch (in anyone's yard but mine!).
• Spongy grass.
• Netflix Sunday afternoons with hot chocolate and blankets.
• Hats.
• Cloud animals. 
• Pajama pants. Finally.
• Costumes and candy. (Lots and lots of candy.... costume optional.)
• Long, hot baths with a book. 
• Walking the dog in the wind.
• Cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Aspen leaves applauding the breeze.
• Closed-toed shoes. And new socks.
• Oak ball wars.
• Crunchy footsteps.
• Enormous, lopsided pumpkins on my tiny, lopsided porch.
• Baking cookies. And bread.
• Rain.
