Reasons I Heart the Autumn

Pumpkin spice candles
Hooded sweatshirts with comfy jeans
Snuggling up with a book and tea under an afghan
Hot apple cider
History Channel specials on the history of Halloween and the origins of Thanksgiving
Colorful knitted hats
Pumpkin muffins at The Corner Bakery
Colored leaves
Going for runs in my neighborhood and seeing the university back in session
Theater shows and opening nights
Scarves and fingerless gloves
Cozy after-work drinks with friends
Good movies at the theater
The chill in the air in the evenings
