Coffee – then adulting.

I miss the Fall. Like the real Fall.

Jumping in the leaves. Just admiring the leaves.

Pumpkin picking.

Baking apple cake.

Haunted hayrides.

I haven’t watched one horror movie all month. I guess it’s not too late. But September and October are filled with the hustle of birthday parties, sports, back to school obligations, etc., leaving little breathing room for the nostalgic things we loved from childhood.

The fall was supposed to be a beautiful bridge from a fun summer to a dreaded winter. It always goes by too fast.

My son invited friends over to carve pumpkins during Halloween week. This made the holiday feel real, and I appreciated it. He loves Halloween, especially decorating. I enjoy his excitement…We cherish happy moments together, whether it’s decorating, carving pumpkins, or watching football on Sundays (after volleyball games of course).

If that’s what fall means to us now, that’s what it will have to be, I suppose.

What are your favorite fall memories?
