I'm almost positive that Autumn has to be everyone's most favorite season. I can't imagine that there is someone wandering this earth right now who doesn't get a warm, cozy feeling over themselves when stores start putting out the "Pumpkin Spice" and "Grandma's Apple Pie" candles. Still burnt from the last rays of summer's sun, everyone looks forward to the crisp air that is starting to smell of a fireplace and digging their sweaters out of their closets.
My favorite fall days are spent in downtown Prescott. Starbucks' lines are to the door and red-nosed costumers, in their peacoats, are ordering Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the elderly couples, bundled in their matching scarfs, are walking their little Terrier that they have dressed in a tiny sweater, and the nip in the air has caused all of the trees to change their colors.
I guess (what it is about Autumn) is that I know Christmas is just around the corner. The shops downtown have lights in their windows, they smell of cinnamon and pine, and a jingling wreath with reindeer bells greets you at their front door. And once the Christmas lights go up on the Courthouse Plaza, I'm officially in Christmas mode.
But Autumn....I mean, COME ON! I'll just list all of the things I love about Autumn and I'll bet you agree with 90% of them.
Halloween, the smell of fireplaces burning, candy corn in the candy aisles, pumpkin pie and eggnog, Starbucks, sweaters, scarves, Thanksgiving, falling leaves, football games, watching Hocus Pocus, apple cider, Black Friday, and sweatpants.
I look forward to Autumn, each and every year. And I still stand by what I've said; everyone adores Autumn.
