Taking a little break from baby mania for a minute to talk about how much I love the autumn season! I really think that October is my favorite month of the year. I know that I may have said that about May a few months back, but May comes in a close second to October.
I just got back from a nice little walk with my Daisy dog and it is just such perfect weather right now! It just lifts your spirits no matter what kind of mood you are in. I am in the mood to make a list, so here are all of the reasons that I love October! And I made this post in a nice burnt orange color in celebration of the season!
-The weather!! Finally not so ridiculously hot and you can be outside and thoroughly enjoy it! Warm (but not hot) during the day and a slight chill to the air at night....I love it! Yes, it means that winter is just around the corner, but that is the only drawback of this season!
- The changing leaves
- Pumpkins
- Mums
- Hayrides
- My favorite burnt orange blanket that makes it's appearance on my couch for this season! It's sooooo soft!
- Screens in the windows for some fresh air
- The first fire in the fireplace of the season! We lit one the other night and snuggled together on the loveseat and I was in heaven! There is nothing better than a real fire in a wood burning fireplace on a chilly evening.
- Apple crisp, apple cider, apple pie.....all things "apple"!
- Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. I get a one every night shift that I work and I sooo look forward to them! P.S. There are only 75 mg of caffeine in a tall, so it's fine to drink one a day during pregnancy.
- Warm comfort foods on a chilly evening, like a nice bowl of chili...yum!
- Halloween, which means adorable little trick or treaters, and ....candy, with a great excuse to eat lots of it!!
- Autumn scented candles like Autumn Wreath and Autumn Harvest. There is something about those scents that is so warm and inviting and homey. Reminds me of my grandparents house, which is a place I love!
- Christmas is right around the corner! I know that ties in with the whole winter thing, but I do love Christmas, and it'll be here before we know it!
So there it is. My reasons for loving this season, and especially this month. Mike and I were taking Daisy for a walk last night and we were both marveling at how perfect the weather has been down here lately. Low 70's during the day and low 50's at night. We both asked outloud "Why would we ever want to leave North Carolina?" We both really, really love it here.
