10 signs fall has arrived...

1. The chill in the air in the evenings.
2. The apples are ready on my apple tree.
3. School has begun.
4. It's dark when I get up. (well it's always dark when I get up but it stays that way much longer than it did during the summer)
5. Pumpkins are arriving at the farmer's market.
6. It's cold in the morning when I first peek out.
7. The air smells of woodsmoke as people start using their fireplaces.
8. The geese are flying overhead.
9. I unpacked my long sleeved t-shirts and sweaters.
10. The leaves are beginning to change.

Fall was my mom's favorite holiday, and even tho I can't say it's my favorite (that would be summer) I do love the change that fall brings, the crisp air, the colors, the scents, now if only fall didn't have to usher in winter, I shiver just thinking about the snow and the cold :(
