Some of My Favorite Things- Fall Edition

* The feeling of a clean slate, a new school year, anticipation of all we will learn and do this year.

* An Indian Summer in the Mountains (crisp cool nights, sunny days)

* The First Day of A New School Year (new pencils, backpacks, crayons, and schedule)

* A purring cat curled up next to me at night in bed.

* A cold day, a good historical romance novel, and a wingback chair in front of the fireplace.

*The first days of December when the air turns breezy and crisp. I open the windows and let the wind whip through the house.

*Octoberfest in Helen, GA. The leaves change, the weather is cool, and the sound of a cold rushing water over flat creek rocks (not to mention funnel cake)

* Cool days sitting on a blanket at the park with friends.

* Picking a pumpkin at the Trinity Pumpkin Patch

* Trick or Treating in Debi's neighborhood with the golf cart pulling the trailer.

* Fall baking, chocolate chip pumpkin muffins!!

* Publix's cinnamon brooms

* The anticipation of making a "Christmas List"

* That Christmas songs start playing on the radio the day after Thanksgiving
