Fall at Long Last!

There is just something about fall that puts me in a better mood. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but it does. Maybe it is due in part to the temperature change. I no longer walk outside & feel like I've stepped into a sauna. Maybe it is due to the changing of the leaves. Here in the Great Smoky Mountains the colors are just barely beginning to turn. I always anticipate those few days in late October (or sometimes the first week in November) when the leaves are at their brightest & best. Is anything more gorgeous?

Maybe it is due in part to the fact that we will soon build a crackling fire in our fireplace, or maybe sit around our outdoor fireplace snuggled under warm blankets & visit with friends while we enjoy hot chocolate or spiced cider.

Maybe it is just the thought of burning my Pumpkin Pie Spice candle, one of my all-time favorites.

Maybe the good mood is in part due to knowing that all-too-soon the holiday craziness begins, but for now I can just enjoy the season with all its amazing sights & smells!

Mmmm!
