First Day of Fall

It is the first day of fall and what a better way to start it than a rain shower and cool weather. I know that it won't stay like that forever since we do live in Utah!

I love fall and it is my favorite time of year and I decided to just write down a list of all the great things I love about fall
  • The leaves changing color
  • The crispness in the air
  • the cool nights
  • FOOTBALL
  • birthdays during the month of October!
  • transplant anniversaries!
  • the browns and reds and yellows of fall
  • jackets
  • pumpkins!
  • pumpkin dip
  • pumpkin pie
  • the cute fall decorations: gourds, Indian corn, corn stalks, cat tails, fall foliage
  • baking bread
  • apple crisp
  • pumpkin spice candles from Salt City Candles
  • Halloween...I hate to dress up, but I love to see how excited my kids get about Halloween and how much fun they have dressing up.
  • Conference....I look forward to General Conference in the fall and I love listening to it with the nice cool weather.
  • pulling out the long sleeved shirts and the long pants after wearing the same clothes over and over in the summer it is nice to have a change in the wardrobe department even if they aren't new clothes.
  • FOOTBALL
  • and did I mention FOOTBALL!

Yeah, those are good things about autumn. But then, it gets cold. How about the smell of the chili sauce cooking? I think it will be this weekend because if I don't do it then I have to wait 2 weeks and I don't think the tomatoes will wait that long.
