MAGICAL-ME

MY ALLLL TIME FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!
1- Pumpkin Delivery! It happened just yesterday, you're glad that summer heat is over...walking to your local grocers, look up and there it is....* the magical* pumpkin patch that arrived overnight. They were piled in an old Ford flatbed truck with wooden sides, the same one they do hayrides in...That's when it hit me! The Holidays. I actually got goosbumps.
2-Anything "Squash" related drives me bonkers. From a wreath to centerpiece to pumpkin pie and butternut squash soup...I love everything about it, the sight, the colors the smell and taste...ymmmmm
3-That first night I don't have the air conditioner blasting and sleep with open windows. Waking up to that wonderful "nip" in the air and burying myself in that velour (yes, I said it) blanket I've been dying to pull out of the closet. ( and a good hubby snuggle is always appreciated)
4-I don't know about where you live, but I'm in the High-Desert/ Mountain region and we have the most amazing fall colors. We take weekend drives through the mountains and watch the bronzes and coppers, oranges, reds and yellows, let the doggies run free. its a great day =)
5- I just get a serious BUZZZ from the Holidays arriving. I like it even better than the Holidays themselves, just that month before ( like now!) when the stores First put out the decorations, I just get -almost- uncontrollably giddy. ( even more than I usually am, which is hard to top) It is truly a magical time of year for me....yay!
