I love fall.
Every year I have a debate with myself over whether my favorite season is fall or spring. But I have 100% officially, no-turning-back decided this year that fall is my most favorite season. I won't even change my mind come spring time. Here's why I love fall!
Leaves start to turn beautiful colors, making everything outside even more spectacular! Of course, this leads to inspiration and excitement to put up our fall decorations in our house.
I love decorating our house for fall, almost as much as decorating for Christmas! (almost, but not quite). Maybe that's why I like fall better than spring; I don't have special spring decorations!
Another reason to love fall?
The return of baking season! My mama always taught me growing up that during the summer, we turn the oven on as little as possible to save on the electric bill. I don't adhere to that rule QUITE as vigorously as my mom, but my oven time is definitely limited during the hot months. So fall is the official return of full force baking. I may or may not have baked something at least twice every week for the past 3 or 4 weeks. In fact three times a week might not be a stretch. (Potential correlation to needing to wear maternity clothes earlier this time around???) Those cookies are today's latest baking celebration. Luckily for me, having college girls over for Bible studies (or going to their dorms/sorority houses) provides a perfect excuse reason for me to bake up some treats!
And what's better than sampling said baked goods with a nice hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate?
I mean seriously, can you argue with fall being the best season after that? Not to mention all things pumpkin coming out to be baked as well.
Landon loves fall too!! It means getting to taste some of those yummy baked treats (oh the joys of being one and not having dietary restrictions!!)
Fall also means cooler weather, which means more time to spend outside. Yesterday we took Landon to the local pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins for our front porch.

Unfortunately it was REALLY windy, which meant dust blowing everywhere. And turns out the actual pumpkin patch that you pay for had mostly stuff that Landon is way too little to enjoy, so we decided to skip the $7.50 per person fee and just looked around at the pumpkins already set out for you to choose from. He still thought it was fun!!
And fall is even more fun with Landon's birthday gift from Dad & Mom!
(once again, video from the phone, my camera battery died right as we went out to swing for the first time!)
All in all, we're loving fall. We hope it sticks around for a long time before winter sets in!

I LOVE autumn too!! (lol! I just like the word 'autumn' better than fall!)
Like you, I've never before claimed fall as my favorite - I was always a hardcore summertime girl - but this year, fall has stolen my heart. Basically for all the reasons you listed.
Hope you're doing well!! How are you feeling??
I LOVE fall. Every season that comes around, I can't decide if that's my favorite. I think Christmas time is probably my most favorite, but fall is deff. up there on the top :-) I only wish I was a better backer like you. I try and try and fail more than 1/2 of the time. I'm much more of a cook :-) But thankfully, there's LOT of that going on in the fall as well :-) Love your little pumpkin family by the way :-)
Tracy! I loved seeing the pics and descriptions of fall since did doesn't seem like fall here in India! I kinda of miss it :( We did however have pumpkin bars tonight which was nice!!!! Landon is getting SOOOOOO BIG!!!
