I am having a difficult time keeping my head in one season right now.
At least twice a day I catch myself thinking (and dreaming) about Fall.
Sometimes, I'm counting the number of days until October 1st (and considering making a paper chain).
I know, I know, it's only three days in to August.
Don't get me wrong; I'm in to summer.
I am in favor of dinner on the patio.
I am so happy living in a world where I can read by sunlight until almost 8pm.
I haven't been to the beach yet this summer (most of my July was dominated by Kenya), but I plan to make a post-camp visit...and when I do, I will hang out in that ocean for hours.
But, there is something so warm and delicious about Autumn, don't you think?
Granted, I'm a little biased, since it does mean we're that much closer to my birthday, but can't you almost smell--practically taste--"Fall"?
School supplies in Target. (I've stopped to smell the binders a few times already.) I love when they put the globes out--that's when you know school is back in session.
Pumpkin decorations. Pumpkin carving. Pumpkin-flavored desserts.
Donnie Darko. E.T. Beetlejuice. Harry Potter(s).
I'm fully embracing August, while eagerly awaiting October. (Sorry September.)
What's your favorite thing about Fall?

Pumpkin EVERYTHING! Including pumpkins in my yard, pumpkin scented candles, pumpkin bread, pie, cookies, lattes, ice cream, and our famous pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!
And, personally, I like when it's dark at 5pm. I'm exhausted!
You know I adore pumpkins...
