While everyone I know is crying at the end of summer I am quietly celebrating by myself. Welcome September! I am so glad you are finally here!

This time of year I feel like the only person on the planet who isn’t a summer person. I have no desire to swim in a pool, I can’t stand 95 degree days with 100% humidity and frankly I think shorts are a bit silly…no matter what your body type. But fall….fall is a season I can get behind. The weather is mild (for the most part) the leaves are changing, you can wear pants again (thank goodness), and you can finally turn the oven on to make pies and other yummy treats without fainting because the temperature is already so hot that turning the oven on makes it hotter than the sahara in your kitchen.

Fall is also the season in which my wedding anniversary falls so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Every fall I sigh and say - I wish it could be fall all year long! But then what fun would that be? If I didn’t have fall to look forward to I think it would definitely loose its luster. Thankfully there is always a hot/humid (and this year very wet) summer to make me even more excited for fall. I can’t wait to go apple picking and wear my new fall coat for the first time on a chilly evening. Ah fall, how I have missed you this long year!
