People swoon over October. And rightfully so. Crispy golden leaves.
Fresh, humid free hair. Warm enough days and cool window open nights. A
world filled with pumpkin spiced everything (did I see pumpkin spiced
dog treats at Trader Joe's yesterday, yes I did). Fall is a brief time
to let go of summer and escort in the best season of all, winter.
Well, that's what fall was like in every other place I lived. I grew up
in Upstate, NY, I lived in Boston, and have traveled all over New
England. New England wins fall, there is no debating it. I mean people
go on vacation to see trees change color. Lincoln and Kansas City have
fall too, it's not as spectacularly beautiful but it is very welcome
after a long hot humid summer.
I don't live in any of those places anymore. I haven't worn socks or pants since....
I think it was 87*
today, which is considered cool. We went to the beach this morning.
I decided to take inspiration from the L.M. Montgomery quote in Anne of Green Gables and make my own warm weather version.
Cheers to fall!
