Yummy autumn comfort foods like hot cider and pumpkin bread. The temperature is cool and pleasant without the broiling summer heat anymore, or the frigid cold that comes in winter. It's a time of holidays, many birthdays in my family--including my own, and Halloween is on the way. Time for jack-o'-lantern carving and a good scare. Nostalgic memories of jumping in piles of freshly raked leaves. I have some kinda nice memories of relaxing drives with my dad through the mountains of my state around this time of year when the leaves begin to change colors. I have a vague memory of even picking plums from the fruit trees of our back yard I think during the August months with my dad too as a girl.
Soon there will be festivals of lights. This is also the time of year for the traveling fair/carnival, and awakens some old fun memories getting on different rides with my friends as a kid and playing games, trying to win prizes and touring haunted houses. I hold on to memories of my grandmother and family dinners on Thanksgiving, and seeing loved ones that I hadn't in long time. Yes, it's a nice time of year, and I'm feeling good right now, and excited that the holidays are just around the corner. Oh, and shopping! All those fall deals, and new wardrobe options with the changing weather. I like wearing earth tones and autumn colors and make up.
