A Fall day...

HER: My favorite things about Fall season are:

- The beautiful trees, the often color changing leaves. I remember while living in Indiana, I will look forward to my hiking getaway afternoons, driving around, or playing outside. I would stop and take a deep breath and smile, thinking to myself how beautiful the scenario is and how lucky I was to have that view all around me.

- Pumpkin anything, Oh how I love the smell of pumpkin and spices during the fall. Looking forward to this time of the year to pumpkin pie, pumpkin-chocolate brownies, pumpkin bread, muffins, cheesecake, shakes, seeds, carving pumpkins with my boys, pumpkin scented candles, you name it.

- Decorations, lights, candles, flowers, fall colors.

- Halloween, Nightmare before Christmas movie, Charlie Brown, Halloween songs, customs. FUN!

- Weather, That I call "Sweatshirt weather", sunny but cooler air, perfect!
I love summer and winter and spring. But come on, got to focus on the positive things of each season ;).

Because of all this things, fall cleaning is my least favorite but the most fun. I find things I forgot I had. De cluttered the house. - I am the queen of throwing away unuseful things, at the same time I wish old clothes good bye with much sadness.
I feel more artsy too, while inspired of all the things I mentioned above, my artist wannabe self comes out and I become crafty somehow, I read more, I write more, my poetic side... ( I am a romantic), classical music mornings and evenings... bubble baths, my curiosity for new red wines... a lot of chick flick movies and my desire for the baking goods and new dishes never seems to go weak...

Today, the temperature dropped by 30 degrees in beautiful Florida. It was a beautiful sunny day that brought along cooler winds.. Today, It felt like a fall day to me. Today, Sebastian and I had a picnic on the living room floor while enjoying the lights we hanged up last week while enjoying the Nightmare before Christmas soundtrack. Today we toast to Pumpkin shakes while declaring a sweatshirt and sweatpants kind of day. Today we laughed of how cold we were, remembering to ourselves we were just at the pool two nights ago and the water was so warm. Today, it was my kind of day.
