Allow me to take a break from my normal blogging activities (such as finishing my Nation's Tri race report) to say that today is the first day of fall!
I love fall! Here are some of the reasons why:
To celebrate, I had a mug of blueberry green tea with my breakfast this morning. :)
And now (soon) back to your regularly scheduled blog....
I love fall! Here are some of the reasons why:
- The weather starts to cool down, which allows me to start wearing my cooler weather clothes.
- The cooler weather also allows me to start sleeping more comfortably again.
- Running at Torrey Pines in the cool morning with Coach Ginger (Mentor Ginger at the time I think) was where I first learned to love to run. I'm looking forward to that again!
- It's soup eating season again!
- It's chili eating season again!
- It's tea drinking season again!
- I get to use the hot tub without thinking that it's too hot out to be doing so.
- I love the smell of the air as the seasons change.
- I love the holidays! (Strangely Halloween even though I used to absolutely hate it.)
- I love the smells that come out around this season like cinnamon or pumpkin spice.
- Everyone has drinks like pumpkin spice and mint (two different drinks--not a "pumpkin spice mint" drink).
- I love the colors of the leaves (even if we don't get to see them as much out here--at least I can decorate with them)
- I get to watch football again!
- I get to make my yummy warm appetizers for watching football games!
- I can make my warm breakfasts like steel cut oats cooked overnight in the crock pot.
- The rain comes back to San Diego, so I get to sleep in on the occasional rainy Saturday morning.
- It's great weather for cuddling on the couch (ugh--I really miss that!)
- Probably many more reasons that I'll remember later (feel free to reply with your own!).

you're so cute. i never knew you loved fall so much! i guess soup nights will have to become a new part of the week :)
So I wasn't the only one staring out the window at exactly 8:45 am celebrating the autumnal equinox! Fall is my absolutely favorite season... the chill in the air this morning was a delight. I am already planning chilis, pumpkin soups, thick stews, warm breads, and a variety of baked delights. I also love that, if I sleep in on a Saturday or Sunday, it won't be too hot to go for a late morning run or a ride. Yay Fall!!!
I also love the holidays, sweater weather, and it is that much closer to snowboarding time.
don't lie. you just can't wait for the annual hourigan-dunn halloween extravaganza
