"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." ~ L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)

"Autumn, the season that teaches us that change can be beautiful." ~Heather A. Stillufsen

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." ~Albert Camus

Are you an Autumn lover? Do you enjoy the weather getting cooler & crisp while watching the leaves turn all different shades of fall? Do you get excited to celebrate Halloween? Do you get ready to hibernate? What about this time of year is your favorite?

I love Autumn. As a child, I only looked forward to Halloween & trying to decide my costume for the year. But now, as an adult, I embrace this time of year. I can no longer handle those blazing hot summer days. I look forward to cool nights by a fire, drinking apple cider, decorating for the season & holiday ahead, indulging in the season's yummy treats & spooky events, bringing my inner child along to enjoy festivities & to embrace a magical time.

What do you all enjoy doing the most during this season? Are you Pumpkin Spice or Apple Cider? Do you dress up for the occasion or not really? Do you throw parties to celebrate or attend other's soirees? Are you an apple orchard picker &/or a pumpkin patch goer? Haunted houses or Yikes, No Way? Do you have favorite movies you watch every year to bring in the season & holiday? What are you looking forward to this year??

I would love to see your pictures of you enjoying the season & Halloween!! I have included some of my own...thus far...more is definitely coming!!
