Today is the first day of fall here in the U.S. and as such, I thought a fall post was perfect. Here are some of my favorite things about the season:
The food!
Pumpkin, yes, I’ve always loved pumpkin but there are so many other great foods that you just can’t have in the summer. Cooler weather brings back comfort food, like stew and soup and chicken pot pie! Also, if you know me you know I have a deep love for candy corn. Bring it on!
Colors
There is something magic about how no matter what is happening in the world or in your life, the leaves will always change like clockwork. The colors are so happy, I love the bright yellows and crisp reds. They will definitely be making some appearances on my Instagram this season, and if you don’t follow me already go check out my account! @theygavemeacamera
Snuggly Clothes
Sweaters make me happy, because who doesn’t like feeling hugged by something warm and soft? Scarves, beanies, and boots are my cold weather accessories of choice. I love feeling cozy, and summer where I live just doesn’t lend itself to that. Early fall doesn’t either, but hopefully we’ll get to that point soon and this season will last a while.
The Weather
Heat intolerance keeps me locked up all summer; I rarely dared to set foot outside because I knew how awful I would feel within minutes of being in the heat. Fall weather is perfect because it’s not extreme, it doesn’t require excessive clothing to keep warm, and I can spend a bit of time outdoors. I know the fresh air is good for me and that makes the weather one more thing Autumn has in its corner.
What do you love about fall? Let me know in the comments below! These past couple weeks have been an adjustment with settling into school and a new routine, but I’m hoping to get back on my normal blogging schedule. Be on the look out next Monday for a new post!
