It’s hard to believe that summer is winding down, but it is folks, Fall is right around the corner, and will be here before you know it!
Fall is my favorite season! Nature’s colors are so vibrant, the air crisp and cool, and family gatherings are at the top of the social calendars.
So many of the special moments in my childhood occurred during the fall season…every delicious Thanksgiving dinner, my birthday, costumes, pumpkins, football games, and the promise of a new school year. You’d think as a ‘grown-up’ now, having all the responsibilities, expenses, and hard work, that comes with keeping up with tradition, it would lose its luster. No way! It only gets BETTER every year, because now I get to watch my kids enjoy it! It’s a bigger joy than it would’ve ever been when I was a kid. I think those of you who are parents can relate, am I right?
Some of the things I look forward to every fall…

It’s still warm here, but I know soon the leaves will start to turn different shades of orange and red..the Santa Ana’s will start to blow, and the pine cones will be ready for gathering.
Can you feel autumn in the air in your neck of the woods yet? What are you most looking forward to this Fall?

Fall is my favorite time of the year! I love the cool crisp air. I am a sucker for a pumpkin patch, {<--still goes even though her children are all grown.} And all of my favorite colors are on display! Boy, you just got me stoked!

Oh this was so inspiring and fun anticipating when fall gets here. I love the fall colors and decorating. While I am a summer gal, this wasn’t the same this year. I love the August mornings where it is cool and a little dew is outside in the morning….it feels like its natures way of saying fall is coming soon.
Thanks for visiting Dedicated 2 Life and commenting on some of my past Blogging for Business posts. I haven’t stopped over in a week or two since the hop and needed to catch up. = )

I think it’s probably my favourite time of year too. Definitely feels round the corner here – me and the kids just decorated our playroom this week with autumn colours, pine cones and leaf rubbings in anticipation of the new season!
Barbara Hiatt says
Ooh, I’d love to see your fall decorated playroom! Thanks for stopping by!
