Falling into September

-The leaves turning colors and crunching under my feet as I walk in the crisp air. 
-The crops turning colors. 
-Driving from Mankato to Mountain Lake.
-Driving through town with the windows down.
-Gravel roads. You just gotta do it. 
-Sunny days with green grass, blue skies, and a vibrant mix of colors.
-Wearing jeans again and starting to pull out the long sleeves.
-The smell of apple candles burning in early fall and cinnamon in late fall. 
-Starting the nightly routine of hot chocolate.
-Walking. Yep, walking. Anywhere. All the time. It's fall and it just feels...good.
-Studying outside...or reading when I want to avoid studying =)
-Sleeping with the windows open. 
-The tree outside my window...can't wait until the leaves change color!
-Changing music playlists...Melody Gardot (new to me), old Norah Jones, and when I feel like it, country. yep. 
-Sitting outside and writing. With pen and paper. Or writing at my desk with the lamp on. 
-The smell. Yes, fall does have a smell. 
-Sometimes I wish fall lasted all year.
