BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Inspiration How is everyone enjoying Autumn?

I commend you for your obviously exquisite taste - Autumn IS the best time of year.

I never grokked whether that was simply because I'm a child of the Fall (Bday - October) or just because it's so self-evident. But I digress.

I save things for each season too, special evocations that herald in the time. Autumn gets:

Lapsang Souchong Tea (smells like Bonfires)
Velvet Throws
Shawls from exotic realms
Certain movies like Practical Magic, Sleepy Hollow, Pirates of the Carribean, The Craft, The Crow, etc.
Spiced Teak Candles

Mmm. I could go on, but the cold rain is falling and there's a tree turning gold in my yard whilst Hot Cocoa and Chili await me.

Where I live, we have 2 seasons - summer and winter (or maybe I should say summer and Indian summer; really hot and not so hot?). We economize and skip fall/spring.

Oh it's wonderful S p r i n g here! It's so pretty and the weather's warming up finally - it's amazing how it sparks my creativity! I seem to want to hibernate through winter, so hard to get any motivation. But now I'm flying... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Fall has always been my favorite time of year.

I love wearing jeans and sweatshirts or sweaters.

I love golfing in the fall.

I love fall decorations and Halloween.

On the chilly evenings there is nothing better than curling up on the couch in the evening with a light blanket and good book.

Fall bonfires are wonderful.

The colors of fall are just breathtaking.

And oh yes Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte is also a great addition to the season. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
