I love fall for so many reasons! The weather – being able to sit outside without having to worry about the humidity, the clothes – big comfy sweaters and scarves, and of course, the food! Pumpkin everything!
- Lindsley September 23, 2011
  
  Oooh – I love nice scarves too!!! And comfy sweaters! thanks for your comment!

I am with you on Fall!!!! After the horrible HOT and DRY summer in Texas, can’t wait for this nice cool weather. Pumpkin, scarves, earthy colors, wearing high heel boots instead of flip flops, lighting the first fire of the year …. ready here I come!
- Lindsley September 23, 2011
  
  Wish I could be there to enjoy the first fire!! I love the smell of fire in the air – the good, in-the-fireplace kind, not the oh my god, there is a forest fire kind!
Tina September 23, 2011

I love everything about fall! The smell in the air that ‘first’ night with a chill, hot spiced cider with rum , the excitement of back to school, soccer games on crisp Saturday mornings, the foliage, and even those who choose to call foliage “foilage” LOL
- Lindsley September 23, 2011
  
  So true!!! And in your case, all those long drives to cheer practice!! At least you have, colorful nice leaves to look at!!

Interestingly enough, Fall for me signifies a “beginning” rather than an “end.” It is the “beginning” of a new school year – SO much to learn in and about life! It is the “beginning” of the season for “family get-togethers,” which are so meaningful for so many. It is the “beginning” of nature’s “cleansing process” to permit the earth to reclaim the waste of it’s bounty and prepare the land for its coming “Spring birth.” It is the “beginning” of the birth of one of the greatest Prophets man has ever known (no matter what your belief). And it is the “beginning” of that warm feeling in everyone’s heart for a joyous upcoming Holiday Season. Enjoy Fall everyone!!

  What lovely thoughts and so beautifully expressed Pam! I’m so glad that you are so joyful THIS holiday season. May it be the best!!!

I love the crispness of the air in the fall and the changing leaves (of course). After the miserably hot summers we have to suffer through here, I love finally being able to wear sweaters, coats, scarves, etc. I love the holiday drinks at Starbucks (pumpkin spice latte and peppermint mocha – yum!).
- Lindsley September 24, 2011
  
  Thanks for the comment! I am addicted to Pumpkin Spice lattes!!

Erin September 25, 2011

- Lindsley September 26, 2011

I LOVE the fall because my birthday is in October – and I love to celebrate me… just kidding. I love Fall for so many reasons.
1. Chilly Mornings
2. Watching my children and hearing the laughter while they jump in the leaves
3. Pumpkin picking, Apple picking at Sterling Farms with my family
4. Baking a pie – and having my entire house smell like apples or pumpkins or cinnamon… and then eating it.
5. Wearing jeans
6. Snuggling under a blanket
7. Having a schedule again after a fun, carefree summer
8. The beautiful colors (ORANGE is my favorite color)
9. Halloween and all the candy! And of course seeing you 2 sweet girls in their costumes.
10. Thanksgiving – giving thanks for everything in my life. This time of year I feel more grateful than ever.
- Lindsley September 26, 2011
  
  Wow! I want to do ALL of those things too!! I am jealous of the fall on the east coast. Not as pretty in California. I never knew your favorite color was orange!!!
Tawny September 27, 2011

Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year!
For all the same reasons others have stated.
But for me, it means Cozy and winding down the
year and reflection and looking at the exciting possibilities of the
coming new year just around the corner.
- Lindsley September 27, 2011
  
  And an exciting new year it will be for you!!!! XOXO

Fall…. I love it because here in Kansas it is sooo hot, by the time Fall comes I am READY for cooler temps. The most important reason though is that I love Halloween! My fav time all year!
Liz M. September 29, 2011

I love Halloween, apple cider, and the beautiful leaves!
Dee September 30, 2011

I love fall because of all the beautiful leaves and the chance to go pumpkin picking!

  You’re welcome!! What a lovely and kind offer! I usually only get to Boston once a year, in the summer for a family reunion. I wish I got there more often!
Holly November 5, 2011

I love fall because I’ve never actually experienced it. But I will soon! I’l be making a move from sunny southern California to cold and snowy Chicago. I’m looking forward to seeing colors change on something other than cactus!
- Lindsley November 5, 2011
  
  Chicago is a FANTASTIC city! See my recent posts on my visit there. Have a lovely Winter Wonderland holiday season!!
Gina B August 17, 2012

Halloween, my birthday, Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday), falling leaves, pumpkin patch visits, the cool breeze in the air, time to wear cute boots again – what’s not to love about the fall??
Barbara Mayes August 21, 2012

Happy first day of Fall to you too!
Mary Dailey August 24, 2012

I’ve always loved fall, but this summer has been horribly dry and hot here in Arkansas. We’ve had 108 quite a few times this summer. I will be looking forward to those cool mornings and evenings. There is something about the cool air that sends tingles down my spine. Fall means that Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are soon to follow.
- Mary Dailey August 24, 2012
  
  Now, I’m tickled. After I commented, I started reading some of the comments and noticed this contest is over!!!! Since it was on the sidebar, I thought it was a current giveaway! Silly me!
Stephanie Hirsch August 26, 2012

I love fall because I love the changing colors of the season, I love the cooler weather, and I love making things with pumpkin!
Terry M. August 27, 2012

Fall is my favorite of all seasons so many resons I love the cool crisp weather. My favorite meal with my family has always been Thanksgiving dinner. The new colors from the trees.This is my favorite time to plant flowers in my garden.
Stephanie Phelps October 7, 2012

I love the crisp cool air and the color of the leaves. I also love the break on my electric bill.
