in honor of today being the first day of fall (and the fact that i love it so much!) here are the top 10 reasons i love fall:
1. the leaves start to crunch under your shoes! i go out of my way to step on a particularly crunchy leaf.
2. the harvest moon. mm.
3. perfect temperature. long sleeves and shorts for a jog is a must. just perfect.
4. watching the leaves fall. especially when you are sitting in kaldi's at the window seats, drinking hot tea or coffee, reading a good book while gazing out the window every now and then.
5. football. sometimes i go to the games on a saturday, and sometimes i like to do number 4, because no one is around and i can have kaldi's all to myself and my thoughts.
6. driving with the windows down, music turned up. i know you can do this in the summer too, but it is just particularly pleasant in the fall.
7. fall wreaths on front doors. yep.
8. halloween! this means carved pumpkins on front door steps, little (and big) kids in costumes, and really funny jokes (especially when they are about a turkey told by my brother).
9. playing in the backyard. you know that winter is coming, so you must make an effort to play outside during any and all free time--it won't last long!
10. christmas music! fall is a sign of winter. therefore, christmas music is acceptable. (but i did start listening to it about 2 weeks and 3 days ago. oops)

Christmas music is NOT okay for fall...! Post Thanksgiving only... if then at all...
C'mon Col!
I love numbers 4 & 6 especially!! Those are my favorites! Another thing i love about fall? Walking along long rows of trees with their leaves falling WHILE listening to music on the iPod. Preferably Dashboard Confessional or Jack's Mannequin are best for fall I think, but there are several other good ones as well. Broadway is a great walk with all those old houses.
