Fall(ing) in Love With Autumn

I used to mourn the passing of summer, spending my autumns reminiscing about the warm months that have just passed, and fretting about the cold winter months to come.  I was so busy missing summer and dreading winter that I didn't take the time to appreciate the now - the fall season.
But what I've come to realize is that autumn is probably the most pleasant time of the year.  Here are some of my favorite reasons why:
*the wonderful smells of decaying leaves, fresh apples in the orchard, backyard bonfires, and pumpkin pie in the oven
*the delightful sensation of simultaneously feeling the warmth of the sun and the chill in the air 
*wearing the sweaters, jackets, scarves, and boots that have been tucked away in the closet all summer
*pumpkin spice lattes, butternut squash soup, apple pie, roasted pumpkin seeds
*it's the perfect weather for jogging and hiking
*the stillness, the quiet; serving as a reminder to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us

Here are some of the images from this weekend that remind me of why I'm falling in love with fall.
