    I love fall!! My birthday is in Oct and that gets me all excited. I love a good birthday party. I also love when the weather starts to turn and the leaves get all pretty. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving. I am so excited for fall to come.

    I have already been burning tons of pumpkin scented candles and baking with fall-related foods because I can NOT wait for it to be fall already as well!
    Cold weather is really rare here (Florida) and last season was hot nearly all year (I recall everybody sweating on christmas eve last year from the heat) so I'm hopeful for this year! I want some cold weather!

    Pumpkin is basically the best scent ever. I can't wait for black friday and halloween!

    Looking forward to Winter! Fall! Most of my life spent in the heat of Nevada caused me to detest summer. Now that Im in Colorado, summer isnt so bad but I still think fall is my favorite season.

    I'm a HUGE sweater fan so fall definitely falls in my favorites category! I can't wait for squash (all kinds), soups, apple picking, pumpkin picking, raking the leaves only to jump in it, Thanksgiving, walks in the crisp air, leaf art....I'm all for it!! Oh and my birthday LOL! :)
  • I absolutely hate the fall. I always feel like I am dying when the leaves start falling. It is so depressing! My brithday is at the end of September and I hate that it is during the fall. I think I need one of those light boxes to get me through the fall/winter.

    Ok, one good thing..Eggnog Lattes at Starbucks during the winter. I love them! But, I bring my soy eggnog and have them make it with that so as to control my calories.

    So I'm getting impatient for Summer to end here. I hate summer. I hate being hot all the time and paying so much for AC. I am definitely looking forward to Fall...Anybody else? These are the things I miss most...

    1.) Sweaters-comfy, cozy and CUTE
    2.) Jeans...all the time. No more shorts. Blah (mostly because I'm very pale and have a hard time tanning...always embarassing.)
    3.) Eggnog....(Whoa whoa...light version)-especially in coffee.
    3.) making Fall/Winter treats like pumpkin bread, pies, homemade soups and stews....
    4.) Watching Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea with my sisters...an autumn tradition on labor day...we used to watch it every year-my mom always made caramel apples that weekend...
    5.) The beautiful fall colors outside
    6.) Cool days-seeing my breath in the air while clutching my piping hot red-eye with steamed eggnog (I'm detecting a theme)

    ANybody else? I'm so psyched for days when I need at least a light jacket outside :(

    Just make sure your sweater is appropriate, not like your co-workers

    I love Autumn and can't wait for it to arrive (leaves are already falling, it's AUGUST, wtf?! :noway: )

    1. The crunch of leaves underfoot when you get the first frosts
    2. The smell of smoke lingering in the air around Bonfire Night
    3. The kids go back to school :grumble:
    4. Autumn clothing that's kinder to redheads: browns, greens, deep reds, mustards, none of your wishy-washy pastels :yawn:
    5. Birdsong starts and finishes at a reasonable hour, not 3.30am & 10.30pm
    6. There's still the chance of an Indian Summer. Apparently in August there is no chance of a Summer in the UK this year, let's just crack on with Autumn and see if we can get one then :laugh:
    7. Blackberries, conkers, apples, the first home grown Brussels sprouts (always best after the first frost)
    8. Stews, warm and welcoming in the slow cooker when you get home from a long walk with the dogs
    9. Thick tights instead of shaving and fake tan (see 6)
    10. The first wood fire, crackling and spitting, while you watch a film on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy a nice bottle of red wine :drinker:

    Fall and spring are my favorite, hate winter but it sure makes it a lot easier to run......Summer, great for everything but running; tho it will make you faster in the fall. And bring on the COLLEGE FOOTBALL and of course my birthday week is in October....yes at my age I need a whole week :-)

    I like Fall, but not a huge fan of winter, unless winter is temperate.

    I agree with #1,2,4,5
    fall is my favorite time of year and it looks good on my pale skin with freckles. The summer sun just turns me pink.
    I love the feeling of energy I get as I get the cooler days with the sun still coming through.
    I reserve my treadmill and jillian micheals to winter rainy months. Where I try to shock everyone when I come out of the sweaters in the spring.

    I'm so with you on getting rid of summer! Can't wait for chicken/veggie soup weather! We leave this weekend for an Alaska cruise and it is supposed to be cool and rainy - can't wait!

    OOOooh! Lucky! We're going to Cancun in October :( back to hot weather. LoL-but it's tropical...and a resort, so I guess that's ok ;)

    I do miss the northwest in the fall...it's so funny though because Montana gets the cold weather and Maryland gets the fall colors. Where is the state that has both? I should move there.

    *laugh/snort* I am sure I will only wear turtlenecks......I mean...absolutely no neck showing. That's just so crass.

    Actually, winter won't be coming probably until the last half of season four. Autumn is still in full swing in season 3.

    number 9 got me.

    I am saving my spending money for a month or so in order to go shopping for new fall/winter clothes (especially boots)...thick and cute tights were at the top of the list LOL. I hate summer because if I wear a skirt, I either do not wear pantyhose and reveal my very shamefully pale legs, or I wear nylons and I'm miserably hot. bah.

    Fall is my favorite time of year, too! Football season!! Skinny jeans & boots, hoodies, sweaters, changing colors on leaves (though you don't see that much in Oklahoma), coffee & cocoa, using my crockpot more, eggnog, baking. I love fall!

    I'm not so sure. Perhaps the White Walkers will bring a change in seasons much sooner than you think.

    (And no, I have not read any of the books, so I honestly don't know for certain (or even know how closely they follow the books).)

    Glad to see fellow eggnog lovers. I usually steam it with my machine and add it to espresso...or go to Starbucks and use it to top off a red eye (black eye on a bad day)

    I'm buying a pair of toothpick jeans on my little shopping trip next month..I have matchstick but I want a real pair of skinny jeans...providing they look good on me. And hoodies...and thick cozy socks...baking-definitely. Pumpkin muffins are my favorite thing but I usually don't start making them until later in September...somehow seems wrong to be enjoying fall food when it's still 89 degrees :(
