Everything you said mama mia, just reading your post sent shivers down my spine, I literally felt warm and fuzzy inside, Fall is my favorite by far, for all those reasons, the crisp air and the smell of the leaves on the trees, cant explain it, just LOVE it! and I LOVE thanksgiving and Christmas, those two celebrations are the best of the year BY FAR. There is so much love around Christmas time, I wish we could have more than one. I am ready for fall, well in a couple weeks!! ha ha The gardens are lovely and the trees are green, not ready just yet......couple weeks!!
