Living in DC, I finally get real seasons. With a dramatic drop from 90 degree weather to the 60s this week, I remember the many reasons why fall is my favorite season:
Pumpkin flavored anything. (Right: Half of the Pumpkin Cheesecake with a Graham-Pecan Crust with Pumpkinseed Brittle that we got at the Taste of Georgetown today)
- Sweaters, jeans, and boot/flip-flop attire
- Football season, even if it is a major distraction every Saturday and UCLA loses to bad teams
- Orange and Brown (but not together) which have seemed to permeate my wardrobe
- Squashes, especially butternut, and other fall produce
- The crisp air, especially in the morning
- Using the crockpot to make chili, stews, and soups
- Leaves changing color (below is a picture from my balcony last year)
- Watching kids jump into big piles of leaves
