Yesterday as I was standing in the kitchen, sipping on some tea, and staring out the window it dawned on me that it is fall here in Alabama. The temperatures are cooler, days are shorter, and there is an actual crispness in the air as opposed to the normal humidity. The leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground. That crunch they make under you feet as you walk on them is one of my favorite sounds. As I look up and down my street I see porches with pumpkins and fall wreaths galore. It is my absolute favorite season. I wouldn't say it is as pretty as some of the falls in other states I have been in but it holds its own. I'm so thankful that I get to enjoy it for a few more weeks before I fully embrace Christmastime. Fall is fantastic.


I live in northern florida (about an hour away from alabama) and am so embracing this time of year as well. it's so crazy how green it still is here though. just recently, within the past week or so, i've really noticed the leaves starting to turn and are now covering our yard. we always take a trip to missouri to see my family over thanksgiving and it's so fun and beautiful to drive through all the different states this time of year.
ReplyDeleteIs that the wreath you made? It came out really good!
ReplyDeleteFall is seriously so beautiful. I'm glad to see it's made its arrival in Alabama! Enjoy it while you can, though, because Christmas will be here before we know it.. :)
