It won’t be too much longer until my favorite season is here and I’m getting a little excited!  I can’t wait for the crisp bite of the fall air, warm apple cider and cake donuts and football!

Some people find it strange that Fall is the season that motivates me to do that type of cleaning and prepping most closely associated with Spring.  Maybe it’s the beginning of the school year that makes me feel like there is a new beginning on the way.  Or maybe it’s because my birthday is in the fall so it’s the start of a “new year” for me.  I don’t know the reason but the closer we get to fall, the more motivated I am to do a heavy-duty cleaning, sort through my belonging and toss items I no longer need or use, get myself a little more organized, etc.

So come on Fall!  Getting excited for . . .

. . . cold, crisp Autumn nights, watching the band march and the football team play.

. . . the most gorgeous colors of foliage that I see all year.

. . . the bite in the air that is only associated with Fall.

. . . the first chilly day that dictates one have a hoodie on hand.

. . . a new school year, both as an adjunct professor and a parent.

. . . the return to the “insanity” that is a school year schedule.

Have I mentioned that I REALLY love Fall?!
