Fall is Here....

I am so excited that Fall is here!  I love this time of year when the weather cools down and the leaves change color.  I love all the things that come with the Fall harvest!  I love pumpkin cupcakes and butternut squash!  I love the trips to the pumpkin patch and the countless blessings that I am thankful for!  This is the season that helps me slow down a bit and enjoy all the wonder that God has created!  So, to start the autumn right...I want to list what I am thankful for (besides my family):

1. Pumpkin Cupcakes, cookies, pumpkin spiced coffee
2. Cool Runs in the early morning and the fellowship that comes with those runs when I run with my dear friends.
3. My fall wardrobe - love the sweaters and jeans, boots and scarves!
4. Love the harvest decorations - as I am not a Halloween decorator- bring on the scarecrows, pumpkins, fall/red leaves...I love it all!   Anything that reminds me of the Lord's Harvest
5. Spiced cider
6. The cold nights and blankets
7. The wonder in my kid's eyes when they see the leaves change
8. Feasts with Friends and Family
9. Knowing that the Lord's birthday is upon us...reminding myself to slow down and enjoy the seasons because they change so quickly

 

What are you thankful for this autumn? Share your gratefulness here!!!!

That Christmas is comming & soon it will be Spring and Summer again!!!!
My family & my salvation. But I am thankful for these every season.
Do Not do Halloween. Have a hard time with all of the decorations and having to explain them to my 4 year old granddaughter every time we go out.

I totally agree with you on the fall fashion... I love the jeans, boots and scarf combo AND taking the kids to the pumpkin patch...forgot to mention that one on mine! :)

Fall is my favorite time! It's our down time from work and we spend a ton of time together as a family.

I love decorating and snuggling up.

And, of course, all the pumpkin spice deliciousness!
