I have said it many times - I am a fall girl. I love the weather, I love seeing the trees change color, I love wearing pants - I am a fall girl through and through! Even though summer is not my absolute favorite time of the year, there are things I will miss about the summertime.

- My garden: I will miss going outside and picking fresh tomatoes or grabbing a handful of fresh basil to use in pasta or on a pizza.

- Grilling: I will definitely miss grilled asparagus…yum!

- The front porch: I will miss having dinner on my big front porch.

- The hub-bub: I will miss the sights and sounds of the neighbors. Mind you not all of the neighbors - some I will be happy not to hear until the spring but for the most part I will miss the chit chat that comes along with the warmer months when everyone is outside working on their yards and walking their dogs.

- Open windows: As much as I despise heat and humidity, I will miss having the windows open on a mild day. Seeing the curtains swing in the breeze and letting my cat sit in the window sill for hours on end smelling the air and picking out all the birds she would eat if she could only get outside.

- The anticipation of fall: Sounds funny right? All summer long I dream of those chilly nights and orange leaves and once fall comes well there is only winter to look forward to. I will miss dreaming of fall.
