Falling in Love with Pumpkin

Despite the fact that fall always comes too quickly for my taste, I love the changing of the season for a few reasons...

1. the sound of leaves crunching

2. the smell (not sure exactly what is is, but its great!)

3. the explosion of color after summer has burnt all of the green away

4. boots...I love boots...and coats

5. PUMPKIN

Brendan and I have been having fun with pumpkin the last month. Here are my favorites!
