Reasons I Love Fall

1. Jeans and a t-shirt, maybe a fleece at night
2. The leaves, of course
3. Fairs and festivals
4. Settling into a new school year
5. FOOTBALL!!!!!
6. Basketball is coming soon....
7. Anticipation of the holiday season
8. When it gets dark earlier, I feel like I'm staying up later and am therefore cooler
9. Sleeping with the windows open
10. Running in the cool late afternoons (ok, that was just today. And it wasn't technically "running" so much...)
11. I'm used to what year it is, so I usually write it correctly
12. New seasons of TV shows - excepting USA shows, which are the best ones, which have different types of seasons
13. Fall candles smell yummy
14. Busting out the striped socks and clogs
15. Have I mentioned jeans?
16. No more awkward "supposed-to-wear-a-bathing-suit" situations
17. Not having to rake leaves makes me grateful for another year of non-home-ownership
18. Pre-season basketball magazines come out
19. No longer expected to eat things like "fruit salad"
20. Thanksgiving
21. Ok, ok. Halloween, too
22. Julie's birthday when she finally catches up with the rest of us
23. Jeans
24. Starting to think about Christmas gifts
25. Hunting season means getting rid of a few of those pesky deer (sorry, Laura)
    
26. Snakes head back underground where they belong
27. Perfect weather
28. Changing clothes means a whole new wardrobe
29. Corn mazes
30. Wearing cuddly pajamas
31. Jeans
