How I can tell it's fall

1. I'm thinking that there is a nice chill in the air, that feels good on my bare arms.

2. I noticed that the trees are starting to mix some yellows, oranges and reds in with their green leaves.

3. I'm sweating way less.

4. Were those Canadian geese that I heard honking in the field next door? I think they might have been.

5. The windows are closed at night, instead of open.

6. The fan isn't always on at night.

7. I'm wearing socks again.

8. I haven't cut the grass in weeks, and it barely needs it (but I will have to cut it probably one more time before I'll be done for the season).

9. The calendar on my local station's weather page says it officially starts today.

10. Football season is back underway (for J, which means Simming/knitting/reading while he watches and/or listens to football is back underway for me).

11. I'm feeling the urge to bake - cupcakes, muffins, cookies, brownies (and not just because I'm missing the chocolate so much), and even bread.

12. Halloween decorations are starting to show up all over the house. :) When J is done decorating, maybe I'll take you on a tour again, like I did last year.
