1. I can turn off the A/C and open my windows. This means that my house can smell like fresh desert air as opposed to last night’s dinner.
2. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte’s
3. Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake –aka The .Perfect Compliment to #2.
4. Harvest Scented Candles
5. Trip to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard/farm where I can pretend for one day that I live somewhere where the trees actually change colors.
6. Comfort Food- beef stew, jumbalaya, chili, pot roast, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins…. I’m noticing that a lot of what I love about October is food related.
7. It gets darker earlier (which I love for about 1 month, then I’m over it.)
8. The way the light turns all goldenish- especially in the afternoons.
9. The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups that I pilfer from my children’s Trick or Treat sack
10. It’s my birthday month.
And this year I have a BONUS reason to love October- my Baby Roo is turning 1 on Nov. 5 and we’re having her great big first birthday party on the 31st! Let the fun begin! Happy Fall everyone!
I'm coming to your house for some decent food. Slim pickings around here. I wish our cook would get with it. (Oh...is that me?)
