It's official.
The hummingbirds are gone, the sun is rising later and setting earlier, and more and more frequently I'm spotting orange maple leaves glowing against the green grass. Our Apple Cider Yankee Candle is burning, and I'm making our first "cooler weather" meal of the season - Split Pea Soup- in the crock pot.
Summer is on its way out.
On one hand, I'm ready. No humidity, pumpkin spice coffee and corn mazes sound pretty spectacular right now. On the other hand, I would totally be up for more nights of playing croquet until dark, wine tastings on top of a hill with a four state view and more time in the sand and sun.
We have a lot of traditions this fall that I'm looking forward to. We like to go pumpkin picking, get lost in a corn maze and go on a hunt for the best cider donuts around. This year we plan to also do some apple picking and finally see the Fall Foliage Parade. The little things at home that will make it seem like fall are burning our fall Yankee Candle scents (we stock up on them during deals after Christmas), doing puzzles, and making leaf piles and doing fall crafts.
What's not to love?
I guess I am ready, after all.
