I love fall.
Always have.
Sixteen years ago, before fall was all the rage for getting married, D and I chose this time of year to exchange vows.
As a kid, I remember walking up my street at dusk, hearing the leaves in the trees, feeling the cool breeze and watching birds congregate as they prepared for their long journeys south. It was magical.
Purple, brown, orange....these are the colors that speak to me. Not the pastel and pretty of spring. Or the greens and reds of winter/Christmas.
And now, with children, I especially love the fall. It brings the routine of school back into my life. It brings lots of fun activities that don't involve spending loads of money or filling stockings or shopping.
I've always felt a bit of an old soul, and maybe this explains, in part, why I have always enjoyed the fall, a time of reflection on what has passed and what is to come; a time of cooling with a hint of warmth still at your back.
