Top Ten, Once Again (hey, I rhymed kind of!)

This is my most favorite season of the year.  Here is my Ode To Fall.

10)  Back to School!  I know the semester is half way over all ready, but it feels so good to be in class after a long summer.  It's like eating a home made meal after weeks of fast food.

9) TIGHTS!  They are just fun!

8) Sweaters.  I love soft, cozy, over-sized sweaters.

7) Hot chocolate.  You can read more about my obsession here.

6) Cloudy days.  I kind of get into the gray dreariness.  It makes me feel cozy.

5) The Holidays are just around the corner.

4) I get to bust out my down comforter.  It is so snuggle-y.

3) I'm going to be totally honest here, and I'm sorry if it grosses you out:  Wearing long pants or tights means I don't have to shave my legs as much.

2) My mom tends to bake more when the weather gets cold.  Those of you who haven't ever had my mom's cooking may not fully grasp the implications of this statement:  She is the best maker of cakes, bread, cookies, and rolls in the history of mankind.  Seriously.

1)Leaves!  My dear friend Ali and I both think crunchy leaves are just the best things ever.  Nothing can make you smile as fast as stepping on that perfect leaf and hearing it make that delicious noise!  Plus, even when they are still on the tree they are beautiful.

And that's why I love fall.
