falling in love with fall

Here are some fall/Halloween photos I've found that instantly chill and warm me simultaneously. I love this time of year so very very much.

Hopefully when it quits all this blasted rain, I go out and take some scenery shots of my own. The leaves are finally getting gorgeous around here. I love this half-way point of fall; when the trees are torn between thriving and dying. Just yesteray I saw a bush that was half crimson red and half jolly green. It looked like it belonged on a table as a Christmas decoration. It was surreal and stunning and made me yearn for things like knit scarves and hot cocoa.

Ahh, fall. You make me so happy.

I want to take a drive to a place that looks like this.

And I want a pair of no-nonsense, purple gloves like these.

And I want to share a kiss like this with my husband.

And I want to get my pumpkins from a patch, not from a generic store.

And I want to fall in love with fall over and over again.
