Tis the season

 

 The Sound of the Trees

Robert Frost

I WONDER about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place?
We suffer them by the day
Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,
And acquire a listening air.

       In an effort to make this blog a little bit more interactive, I would love it if you would comment on a few of your favorite things about this time of year. Personally, I love the fall. I think if I had to have a favorite time of the year, it would be the Fall. Here are a few reasons I love the fall- Please leave me a comment about what you love about the fall.


Flannel Shirts and Carharrts
Hunting season begins
Pumpkin flavor in my coffee
The changing of leaves
The Richmond marathon/half-marathon (which unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to run this year...)
The Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day.
Hot chocolate in a thermos
Throwing a football with my dad
"Fall walks"- this is something Peyton and I started last year- but there is just something about walking around our neighborhood,the Fan, during the fall.
Hiking
Pumpkin bread
Apple cider in a mason jar
Sweet potatoes
Raking leaves.
Fall festivals
Apple butter
