Despite the fact that it was 83 degrees and too warm here in SoCal today, I am so grateful for fall. For:
pumpkins in giant bins outside of the grocery;
the smell of apples pervading the produce section;
cooler nights, despite the warm daytime temps;
talk of football (though I’ve actually watched none this season so far);
thin blankets of fog near the beach;
pumpkin spice coffee;
laundering the dust out of the long sleeves and moving them closer to the front of the closet for eventual use;
the incredible harvest moon;
the impulse to cook;
the craving to create.
