Autumn is finally here! After a long miserably hot, humid summer, we finally have relief and I couldn’t be happier. Cool weather has finally arrived and it’s so much easier to breathe, ha ha. Why is fall my favorite season? Well, let me tell you…

I think the best thing about fall, after the cooler weather, is of course the changing of the leaves. The colors are so varied and vibrant ranging from green to gold to orange and red…sometimes you even get lucky enough to see different shades of purple!  There’s just something in the air in Wisconsin in the fall. It smells different…like fall. I know that sounds funny, but it’s something that we actually say in our house. Open the door, stick your head out, take a deep breath…”Mmmm, smells like fall”.

Something happens to my spirit during autumn.  Is it the coming holidays? The fact that the kids are back in school? Possibly the wonderful aroma of spiced cider, the joy of a  juicy apple freshly picked off a tree at the orchard, tailgate parties, squirrels foraging for nuts, crunchy leaves or something held over from my childhood? Who knows… Who cares?

So put on your turtleneck, don your barn coat and set out on a walk by the lake…or try a scenic drive.  Don’t forget your camera, to snap some photos of the wonderful-ness of it all.

Happy Fall, Everyone!
