What's not to love about fall?! Here are some of my favorite things...
1. Cooler weather and lower humidity - I can breathe again!
2. Fall leaves - They look pretty and smell great!
3. Cooking - While I love grilling out in the summer, I'm ready to start eating soups and stews now. Plus there is pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream,...
4. Thanksgiving - It's my favorite holiday. We've already invited most of our guests and I've started planning the menu.
5. Wearing handknits - I've been wearing my socks and it's cool enough to put a shawl on, too. It was so cold in the house this morning that I ended up putting on mitts while I typed.
6. Decorating - I mentioned last week that I enjoy decorating this time of the year.
7. Camping - We try to camp one weekend each fall and I just love it! I'm looking forward to this year's trip.
8. Carving pumpkins - I'm not a big fan of Halloween but I do love to carve pumpkins. This year we had three pumpkins from our volunteer plants - one for each of us to carve.
9. Scents - I love the smell of fall and my favorite candle scents are available this time of year. My current favorite is Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin from Bath and Body Works. It smells good enough to eat!
10. Wardrobe - My fall/winter wardrobe is better than my spring/summer wardrobe. Corduroy jackets, clogs, sweaters, flannel jammies ...

I love your list! I'm wearing wool socks today for the first time and it feels so nice.

My favorite thing about Fall would have to be the first snowfall :)

Candles, yes I totally forgot about them. I look forward to wearing my handknits too. Great list.

I so agree on the soups and stews! And I wish that I had more handknits to wear. Maybe one day! :)
