Because it’s Friday. Because I’m feeling a wee bit overwhelmed. Because it’s an absolutely beautiful, blue-sky kind of day. Because it’s way more fun than all the yarn dyeing I must do today.
Because of all of that I’m giving away the last September Surprise box of yarn. To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about fall.
Entries close Sunday night at midnight, EST. I’ll post the winner- chosen at random- here on Monday morning. The winner will have 24-hours to claim his or her (but probably her) prize, after which another winner will be chosen. One entry per person please. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

My favorite thing about fall. There is many, being able to finally get out my mittens and hats, Fall bake goods, Hot tea on a crisp morning, just the fact of knowing that 90 degree days are long gone and it might snow this week. Ah. How I love fall!
I love cool, crisp afternoon walks in deep autumn, when the air smells like falling leaves and colors of gold and red are all around you. I suppose fall walks are my favorite because it is the time of year you can finally pull on a heavy, handknit sweater and not roast!
definitely the cool temps, the unbeatable colors, and the fresh fall smells!
On the way home from my great-grandmother’s funeral today, I said to my husband, “I used to hate Fall because it seems everything ends or dies then but now that I’m older I realize the beauty and circle of it and the way it is and admire that during Fall our world becomes God’s paintbox to color our world beautiful.” So, I guess I love how Fall is always unexpected to me, ever changing and showing we must rest in order to put forth in the Spring.
Oh the colors!!! Going for a walk when it’s cool enough to need a little jacket, and walking down a country road looking at the colors of the leaves.
I can not say it better than Helen Hunt Jackson in
“October’s Bright Blue Weather”
O Suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather
When the dry desert heat breaks and, seemingly overnight, it’s cool and blustery and the air seems charged…that’s my favorite thing about Fall here in the Las Vegas valley…
fall just smells good! beautiful running weather & a chance to cuddle up in a favorite blanket on the couch in the evenings. mmm
I think I’m entering this comment too late, but that’s okay. Favorite thing about fall… winter squashes!
It is hard to pick just one favorite thing about the BEST Season and I’m sure glad I live in VA where we have all 4 glorious seasons, but Fall is my favorite. The weather turns cool and the air smells, well, like Fall! I would have to say my favorite thing is the days in fall, especially on the weekends, where it is a really perfect weather day, so EVERYONE wants to be outside. You know, its warm, not hot, sunny with clear skies, but still smells like fall. Whole families and thier friends just needing to enjoy the outdoors and spend time together before the winter sets in. Not to hot for some yardwork, good weather to get in another cookout, everyone in the neighborhood is out for a walk and/or it’s time to head to a local craft show. I LOVE these days!
