It's nearly Fall...

Technically, it is Fall...meteorologically it is Fall.  I think that counts for something.  I mean, look outside - the leaves are changing.  Football is in session.  The orchard is open.  How much more proof do you need that Fall is here???  I could declare it if that would make you feel better.


I love Fall.  I say it every single year...but it's true.  I heart Fall. 


Andy Williams sings about the most wonderful time of year being Christmas...and don't get me wrong - I heart Christmas and December snow and mugs of hot chocolate.  But (yes, BUT) there's something delightful in watching the leaves change...drinking a mug of warm apple cider...putting on a hoodie and jeans and heading to a football game.  I would like to pause here and just say - straight up - I like high school football.  I do believe it goes back to my high school marching band days.  Yes, I was in the band.  I know that my favorite co-worker found my nerd girl marching band days confession mildly amusing.  Forget mildly amusing, he out-right laughed and laughed.  Rude?  Not so much.  I think he had me pegged for a nerdy girl from the get go.  Knitting...reading...my big weekend excitement is going to the coffeeshop to hang-out with the girlies.  Yeah...ok, so I am still the band nerd.  But you know what - being the quiet girl has its benefits.  I love a good book...a quiet evening at home...a mug of hot chocolate...a lazy snow day in my jammies.  If loving all those things is wrong, I don't wanna be right!!!
