Fall Truly Is Here!!

I really enjoy the fall season, in fact, I'd have to say that it's my favorite season! Maybe it's because I love art and colors and all beautiful things that is visible to the eye. Whatever the reason, it's a beautiful season. Hehe, great rhyme, hmm? :P
Yesterday I was sitting outside waiting for Ben and Anthony to come over (mom and dad had gone to their bible studies and Ben had decided that we would have a movie night over at my house for youth group. We watched Sleepy Hollow, btw) I was sitting on the ramp that dad made for my mom a little while back, listening to Apocalyptica and reading Edgar Allan Poe and I started thinking about all the things fall made me think of that made it such a happy time for me. Here are some of the things I came up with:

1. My warm (pink, lavender, periwinkle and white) crocheted blanket made specially for me by my wonderful Grandma Murphy.
2. Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" (kinda cliche, but I like it for more reasons besides the fact that it's a cool poem)
3. Tweed pencil skirts and button-down blouses
4. Cool breezes and leaves rolling across empty roads
5. Vanilla chai tea with added spices and pumpkin spice lattes (which are very good when you're about to fall asleep in church because of a particular sleepover the day before)
6. Halloween parties, costumes and pumpkin carving
7. Great friends to hang out with and watch movies such as Sleepy Hollow and the like
8. The excitement of being able to go to Blue Ridge and see all the fall colors with your bestest friend in the whole wide world (and then probably going to Pizza Hut afterwards on the way home and getting those yummy little pizza rolls that are all for you except for the ends which don't have pepperoni in them, just cheese, so you give it to Ben because that's the only way you can share them with him)
9. Reading outside right before sunset in jeans, a hoodie and no shoes.
10. Being able to look at any part of the outdoors and thanking God for being the marvelous artist that He is.

Those are just some of the things that I can think of off the top of my head that make fall such a fantastic season. I hope all you guys who are reading this are able to get outside and thank our Creator for the opportunity to pay attention to and enjoy the beauty of Fall.
God bless!
