Favorite things about Autumn
I know they're still rocking out 100+ degree temps in LA, but for the rest of us, it's pretty much full-on Autumn. This is my favorite season - and there are a lot of reasons why! What are your top 5 favorite things about Autumn?
In no particular order: 1. Perfect temps for me hover around 65 degrees - bit of a chill in the air, but not freezing yet. 2. Sweaters! 3. My man in a sweater! 4. Crunching leaves underfoot 5. I love the changing colors of the leaves
Actually, temperatures here plummeted yesterday and we've been overcast and in the 60s. Odd, but pleasantly fall-like. Still, there's not much traditionally autumn about L.A. so I'll really on some Midwestern memories:
1. football season 2. light jackets 3. the smell of burning leaves/campfires 4. Halloween decorations 5. warm apple cider
1. October is my birthday month 2. Changing colors of the leaves (I love driving down a road with a canopy of red and yellow leaves) 3. Halloween-probably my favorite holiday 4. Cooler weather to wear, shorts and a sweatershirt. 5. Campfires
1. men in sweaters 2. many opportunities to eat pumpkin-flavored foodstuffs 3. the smell of something burning 4. cat cuddling season begins 5. men. in. sweaters!
Much like the characters in Hornsby's High Fidelity I think what you like says a lot about you.
