I Love Autumn!!


My favorite season is here!

I love autumn. The leaves are changing colors right now and are very pretty. I see a lot of reds and yellows on my way home from work. It is also getting colder at night, down in the 30's and 40's (degrees F) and only getting to the 60's during the day. If I could live in autumn all year long, I wouldn't mind!

I decorated the house a little bit for Halloween. Went to the dollar store for some ceramic pumpkins and candy dishes, and filled the dishes with some delicious candy :). I also bought a bundle of eucalyptus plants to put in a large vase at the bottom of my stairs so that when I walk in the apartment, it will smell like the plant. This reminds me of my grandparents' old house, and when we were kids, they had this beautiful vase of dried eucalyptus plants and flowers in the sun room, so the scent reminds me of that.

Do any of you celebrate Halloween? For my family, we have a nice little costume party at my grandparents' place because my Grandma's birthday is Oct. 30th (Halloween is Oct. 31st). This year my brother, sister and I are dressing up as different types of clowns. I am going to be a mime, my sister is going as the Joker from the Batman movies and my brother is going as an old fashioned clown (I forget what it is called). I will be sure to post photos of that after the birthday party!

The picture was taken in a pine forest by my parents' house - it is part of Huron National Forest.

I love the beautiful leaves! I wish they would hold on longer for a longer autumn :).
