Two-ish weeks until it’s official, but autumn is basically here. If you don’t know that I love fall, well, then you don’t know me very well. I love fall. I love crisp air, orange and red foliage, back-to-school shopping, wearing warm sweaters and scarves, sitting by a fireplace, hot cocoa, pumpkin-flavored everything, and Thanksgiving. Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year, but I also love winter for many of the same reasons.
These pictures are from three different days, fyi.
Today when I woke up the weather was so glorious that, for the first time in Philadelphia, I could not stay inside. Low 70s, no humidity, clear sky, fresh air. I didn’t even bother to shower before grabbing a book and heading out to the university area. I stopped by Starbucks and got my favorite seasonal beverage, a pumpkin spice latte. So good.
B. and I were musing about this being the first fall for both of us that we’re not headed back to school. I will admit that it makes me very sad and I’ve sulked about it for a week. For those of you who aren’t aware, I had to defer my admission to Penn until next fall, and that’s all I’m going to say about it or else my words will turn mighty wrathful.
That’s about all that’s going on now, – oh, except for the fact that I inadvertently walked through a drug deal today – but stay tuned for a weekly series that will début on the blog this week.
