20 things to treasure in autumn



Melissa over at The Inspired Room (http://theinspiredroom.net/2008/09/18/20-little-things-to-treasure-in-autumn-2/) has asked for a list of 20 inspiring things about fall. This list is only a start! Fall is the most wonderful and invigorating of all the seasons! Not too hot. Not too cold. And the colors!OH! And the scents! WOW! I LOVE IT!
1) The smell of wood smoke in the air
2) Football games and tailgate parties
3) A thermos full of hot buttered rum

4) The crunch of fallen leaves underfoot
5) Fires in the fireplace in the mornings before school
6) Filling the bird feeders up!

7) Warm flannel sheets on the beds
8) New fluffy slippers on your feet inside and pretty wellies on your feet when you're outside

9) Walks beneath the harvest moon (is it cold enough to see your breath yet?)

10) Jeans and sweaters (my favorite, FAVORITE outfit!)

11) Shelves full of produce you've canned from your garden


12) The spectacular colors! Inside and out: Red, Orange, Gold and Brown

13) Soups with still warm homemade bread for dinner!


14) Trips to the country looking for that perfect pumpkin or maybe a trip to the corn maze

15) Fall camping trips! Soooo much fun!

16) Signing up for new classes. Going back to college or learning how to knit? Now's the time!

17) Baking pies and treats so when the children get home from school the house smell sooo good

18) Movie night with your sweetheart snuggled up on the couch

19)Is it really fall without hardy mums and cornstalks decorating the porch?

20)Apples and cinnamon or pumpkin pie scented candles.mmmmm! Lovely

Ooo, a fall pictorial! Wonderful images. Love the advice to the boys, too! I hate seeing people salt food without tasting it.
