I thought I'd take a second to write out a few things that I'm looking forward to in a place where most if not all others will appreciate them, and not just think I'm a bit nutso...

The crisp scent of a cool breeze in the air
The giddiness of seeing the trees change color
The joys of walking down aisle after aisle of fall and halloween decor.
The smell of leaves burning.
The bright smile on my children's faces as we chose costumes
For that matter the bright smile on my face chosing costumes
The twinkle and glow of my halloween tree all decorated in the living room at night
The glow of orange lights and smell of the fog machine in my yard.
campfires and hayrides, haunted houses, parties, masks and treats
everyone enjoying themselves and having fun it doesn't get much better than that.

So what are the rest of you looking forward to hearing or seeing or smelling this fall?

I've always loved that first smell of a neighbor's fireplace too. That screams fall.

- Leaves turning color
- That first noticeably cooler night
- The first noticeably cooler day
- The shorter days
- The first frost (Rarely happens before Halloween for me)
- The smell of burning dust from your home's heater.
- Walking through Target's Halloween aisles
- Picking your pumpkin

There's many others. I haven't been on a Hayride in years, but I would like to make it a priority this year.

Now if I could only fast forward to September. I loathe August.
