Yes! Fall is my absolute favorite season. The air has been a little cooler here in Michigan this week, so it's getting me so excited for the change in the seasons and the upcoming holidays.
My favorite things about fall in Michigan:
- Pumpkin EVERYTHING! I love to make homemade pumpkin bread and other pumpkin spice goodies, burn pumpkin-scented candles, etc.
- The colors of the leaves... Michigan is a beautiful state to go for scenic drives in the fall to look at the fall colors. I discovered a new potential route just recently and I can't wait to go back and see it all decked out in nature's glory for autumn.
- Boots, jeans, sweaters, hoodies... *Love*
- Crisp, frosty mornings... Perfect for pancakes and hot chocolate!
- Wild geese on the wing, summer songbird migrations, and the arrival of winter songbirds
- Golden cornfields and combines... Watching the hustle and bustle of harvest season...
- Visiting a cider mill, drinking fresh cider, and eating cider doughnuts
- Going to a pumpkin patch and carving pumpkins for Hallowe'en
- Decorating my house for fall...
- Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season! Last year was my first year hosting Thanksgiving dinner and I'm doing it again this year!
I just love having so much family around and putting together a delicious meal for everyone to share.
Just listing all of these things and thinking about them has me SO excited.
