Okay, enough summer already. I’m over the heat, the humidity, the sweat, the bugs. I’m aching for fall!
A few stores have slowly started slipping in fall and Halloween items, and I have already bought a few new decorations for the house. You can never have too many Halloween or autumn decorations, right?
As much as I love fall, though, I refuse to start decorating for fall until at least September 1st. It will still be roasting hot here, but I don’t care. It’s going to be colorful leaves and pumpkins all over the place.
Fall has always been my favorite season. None of the others even come close. I love the promise of a new start with a fresh, new school year; leaves changing and dropping and transforming; a coolness sneaking into the air, signaling a shift in season. I love chilly evenings, snuggling under a blanket, finally pulling sweaters and sweatshirts down from the shelf in our closet.
It’s pushing 90 degrees outside today with no hint whatsoever of fall on its way. That’s okay. I know it will be here eventually. In the meantime, I will keep bingeing on fall quotes and pictures, and buying more fall decorations!
