Ahhh Yes...Fall

We finally kicked off our fall this weekend by taking Blaire to a popular pumpkin patch in town called "Mr. Bones" and then to the LA Farmer's Market.  We had fun and Blaire was great (probably why it was so fun).

Why is Fall such a great time of year?  I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, I've heard others express similar sentiment on many occasions.  Obviously the partiality to the season is partly due to the weather.  It's wonderful when the heat of summer ends and a briskness fills the air.  But in some ways spring shares similar climate traits and has the added benefit of being the light at the end of the winter tunnel.  Yet I just don't feel the same way about spring.  After careful (almost no) thought, here's what I've come up with.

The Colors- warm, bright fall colors.  Changing leaves.  What else can you say?

The Holidays- I think our bodies instinctively know that with a change of the weather comes the holiday season.  We get a nice warm up with Halloween (a great holiday unto itself) and then go headlong into Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The food, the family, the spirit...it's awesome.  And fall is the entrée to it all.

The Sports- football season begins and the baseball playoffs start.  It's great.  Admittedly I'm not much of a basketball fan, so I'm likely a little biased.

Happy Fall!

Nanny got in on the action.

Nothing says fall like sausage!

Blaire looks pumped.
