I love pumpkins. I love fall. I love crunchy leaves, baggy sweaters, and it being socially acceptable to wear tights again (even though that never really stops me). Even though there's 11 more days until fall officially starts (and it's defiantly still too hot, it was 95 at 7:30 yesterday), I still love this season.
There's just something hauntingly poetic about the crunch of dead leaves that just makes me want to jump in a big pile of them, although the actual jumping into a pile of leaves brings me back to reality. And by reality I obviously mean pretending it's fall when it's very obvious that summer is going to linger around for awhile.
Although all of this is just gearing up for the winter season, and let's not get into that I am far to excited already! There's always a certain type of magic that enters the air around these seasons, maybe it's that everything is beginning, which is actually the opposite of what nature is doing. But who actually cares about the rules that nature has set forth? If september is my season to start new projects and begin new habits why should I wait for the new year, or spring? There is no reason that I should set my schedule to the one made by the trees or popular magazines.
I've already got my fall items lined up, I've figured out the best way to make great carmel corn, have the tastiest Pumpkin Spice Latter recipe (If you want some you'll have to come over, I'm not giving it out. Actually I already have twice, so I mean you can try to find it? but you'll have to know where to look.) and I just got knew yarn that is itching to spin itself into something gorgeous, although I'm not actually working on anything yet until I finish Summer's birthday present (WHICH I AM SAYING NOTHING ABOUT UNTIL I HAVE GIVEN IT TO HER THURSDAY. SORRY, NO SPOILERS).
Last fall and this fall are already very different, in both good and bad ways. I'm really looking forwards to seeing it play out before me, I am crossing my fingers for a few things to happen, and already have things written on my calendar, such as the 5k Maddy and I are running in, on November 17th (You should join us, we'd love it if you would!! If you live near us, you can even come running with us).
But just as the season says, we'll fall, and hopefully let's catch ourselves and have as much fun as we could possibly have.
