I enjoy watching the seasons change. I love the order the seasons give our lives, the biblical truths of which they remind us, and the way each transition from one to the next feels like a new beginning. Though I’m typically excited when we change seasons, I’m often extra enthusiastic when we transition to fall.
Maybe this is because I live in Texas and the summers are so hot here that I’m desperate for cooler temperatures. Maybe it’s because the flavors of fall foods are so wonderful. Maybe it’s because the colors of fall are so beautiful. Maybe it’s because fall is a precursor to two holidays that I love (Thanksgiving and Christmas). Whatever the reason, autumn is wonderful.

I do just love fall (winter; not so much!).. I think my favorite part is the cooler temperatures and all the pretty colors everywhere. Thanks for sharing with us at Encouraging Hearts and Home. Pinned.
I do love the cooler temperatures! We haven’t had any yet (it’s still in the 90s here), but I know they are coming.
Thanks for hosting!
My favorite season!!! It’s finally starting to cool down here, which means fuzzy sweaters, chunky socks, and boots are coming out of my closet. I’ve already started making my favorite fall foods!
We haven’t had cooler weather yet, but we are supposed to have some this week! I’m ready!
Thank you for sharing at #OverTheMoon. Pinned and shared. Have a lovely week. I hope to see you at next week’s party too!
Thanks for hosting, Marilyn!
I enjoy all the craft fairs.
Great addition to the list! I forgot that there are many awesome craft fairs in the fall.
