As
much as I hate to say good-bye to summer, I have to admit I don’t mind
welcoming in fall. After all, September is one of my favorite months. Here in
New England, the days are gorgeous. You don’t need a jacket yet, and some days
are even still downright hot. However, the nights are cool. Perfect for
sleeping. There’s no need for air-conditioning. Just open the windows.
Another
thing I love about September is that the coffee shops have their pumpkin items
back on the menu. My favorite: pumpkin spice lattes. I wish they were offered
year round, but maybe the reason I’m so crazy about them is because they’re
not.
Something
else I like about this time of year is all the fairs. Strolling through row
after row of arts and crafts while sipping on cider and enjoying a freshly made
apple fritter, is a great way to spend the weekend.
The
only thing I don’t like about September is when the leaves begin to fall
because it’s a reminder that soon the trees will be bare and then not long
after that, we’ll be heading into winter. One of my least favorite seasons.
What
do you love about fall?

I have a confession- I've never tried pumpkin spice lattes! I need to change that this season :) I have had pumpkin spice soup after going to the Stowe, VT craft fair which is one of my favorite events of fall in New England.
ReplyDeleteHere in Arizona, September isn't much different than June, July, and August. When things finally cool off in October, I like pumpkin spice lattes, too, and I make pumpkin butter to give away. Fall has always been my favorite season in AZ.
ReplyDeleteI love that the weather is finally mild (ok, it's going to be 90 today, but that's better than 109)
ReplyDeleteWalking in the crunchy leaves is fun! I'm past the days of jumping in piles of leaves (darn!), but so far I can still walk in them.
ReplyDeleteThe only way I like my pumpkin is in pie, and I'm not a fan of fall because it means winter is coming. Even though I live in AZ where winter is short and really not that cold, I still prefer hot.
