1. I love the leaves and the breath taking colors of the landscape. Since I live in the Shenadoah Valley all I have to do to see this glorious sight is step on to my front porch!
2. I love the cool, crisp weather. I love the light frost on the grass in the morning and temperatures in the 70's during the day.
3. I love sleeping under a home made quilt at night. I love cuddling up to my nice warm mister warming my ice cold feet on his legs. He always grumbles but he embraces me even in his sleep.
4. I love pumpkin everything. I love pumpkins, hay bales, corn stalks and all the earthy decorations that go with fall.
5. I love apple everything. Winchester, Virginia is a stone's throw down the road and claims to be the apple capital. I love applesauce, apple pie, apple salad, and apples with carmel sauce dip.
6. I love Thanksgiving and the concept of family gatherings to celebrate one another and to thank God for the bounty of the fall harvest. I love breaking out the pinecone turkeys, pilgrim face place mats, and Pilgrims, Indians, and Turkey centerpeices .
7. I love mums, yellow, bronze, crimson, purple and white. I love the small compact burst of color and my very favorite mum is of course (the daisy mum).
8. I love the smell and taste of chilli on a cool evening to warm you down to the tips of your toes. Throw in some home made corn bread and you've got some good eatin!
9. I love the smell of a wood burning stove and the nice glow of heat that comes out of the vents on a cold morning. We heat the house with wood and since chopping and splitting it, I appreciate it's warmth much more.
10. Scarecrows. I think it's because I secretly had a crush on the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. I think they make cute fall decorations and look comical and inviting .
11. I love haybales, hayrides, and dried cornstalks for fall decorations.
12. I love the "pumpkin chunkin" contest they hold every year. The Discovery Channel usually films it. The also have pumpkin cannons.
13. I love spiced hot tea and hot apple cider. They smell wonderful and taste even better on a chilly evening.
