Friday Five-What I love about Fall

We are seriously in my favorite season right now. I know we've been it in for a while but I've just been basking in the glow of it : ).  I love it for many reasons.

1.  The Fall Foliage-My husband might disagree b/c he is the one who rakes the yard but I love all of the leaves.  I forgot how beautiful the trees in our yard are. Also, driving around ATL I've seeing some really pretty fall scenes.  I get to take a lot of back roads to work on Thursdays and there are some gorgeous views on my way there.  We've travelled a lot and I've been able to see fall in other places in the US.  Michigan by far had the most beautiful fall. It surprised me how gorgeous their trees were. 
 

2. Pumpkin everything-I am sure I drive you nuts w/ my love for pumpkin but it makes me happy. I love the decorations, the coffees, the breads, the schmears, the actual fruits (or is it a veggie?), everything!!!
                                                   

3.  Soups-I love the chill in the air b/c I can start experimenting w/ new soup recipes.  It's always fun to try new ones or make the tried and true recipes we love.  We made a new butternut squash and white bean soup last night that was a winner. I will share recipe later today.  Riddle me this....why does soup always taste better the next day. There is a restaurant in Vinings (cute part of atl) that serves all of their soups a day old b/c they are always better once everything melds.

4. Fireplaces-I was at my brother's house a couple of weeks ago and they had the fireplace going...it was So nice and cozy.  I almost dozed off in the chair I was in, now that would have been embarrassing...what am I 80?  Anyway, we have one in our house and I am inspired to start using...of course we have no furniture in the room that it's in but we will have a picnic one night and enjoy our open room w/ the fireplace...ha!


5.  Good tv-all the good tv comes back. We watch way too many shows but I don't care.  It's research for our craft...yeah, that's right ;). This season we are watching How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, Dexter, Community, Modern Family, Up all Night, Parks and Rec, Office and I am sure there is something else I'm missing. I am really ready for 30 rock to come back. 


Do you like Fall? What do you like about it?

Don't forget to link up your FF w/ Kat from Living Like the Kings.  She has a great one today about Thankfulness!

  1. We should have a "we love fall" fest! I'm totally into using your fireplace with you (I literally cried when the chimney sweep I'd hired told us ours was unsafe/illegal to use when I had him come check ours out before we used it this year). And I say adding pumpkin muffins, tomato soup, and a few episodes of Modern Family (do you have a favorite character?) to the mix would just be amazing.
