As we get further into September, the closer to fall we get. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. There is just something about it that excites me and I feel my best during the season. Some people count down the days until summer comes, but I count down the days until fall arrives instead. I can't pinpoint one exact reason why I love fall but I can tell you several reasons why fall is a great season. Besides more is better than one in my mind, so why not have more than one reason as to why you love something.
1. The weather.
It is the perfect sweater weather. It's not too hot and its not too cold. It's just the perfect in-between.
2. Bonfires.
Going along with sweater weather, it is also the perfect weather to have bonfires. There is nothing better than snuggling up to a bonfire in your sweatshirt.
3. The colors.
When the leaves begin to change colors and start to fall you know that fall is in the air. The changing colors paint a beautiful background for nature and it is so pretty to look at.
4. The sky.
To go along with the leaf colors is the colors of the sky. There is just something about the sky during fall that is so unique and something that you won't get during the rest of the year and I think it has to do with the colors reflecting off of the trees.
5. Halloween.
Halloween is my third favorite holiday and it makes fall great because it falls in the middle of the fall season.
6. School.
Most people know that I love school already and that's another reason fall is a great season.
7. Family birthdays.
My family has a lot of birthdays to celebrate in the fall months, so its always a great time to look forward to in my family at least and probably others as well.
8. Pumpkin flavors.
The famous Pumpkin Spice flavor comes to light at this time in the year and I have to say it is a good thing to look forward to.
9. Caramel Apple Spice.
I have to say that my favorite flavor is Caramel Apple Spice, especially the drink from Starbucks and I look forward to having it when fall comes around. It is the perfect drink to have when the weather starts to get a little colder.
10. Pumpkin patches.
Picking out my pumpkin at the patches when I was a kid was one of my favorite fall memories and I can't wait to do the same thing with my children when I have them.
11. Apple picking.
To go along with pumpkin picking there is apple picking, which is another great memory from my childhood. It brings the family together to do something really fun and helps create those memories you will remember forever.
12. Closer to Christmas.
Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year and I know that when fall comes, I am that much closer to Christmas and the holiday season.
