It’s the second week of November, and even here in North Carolina the weather has turned cooler. Here are some of the things I really love about Fall as it progresses toward winter.<\/p>\n
1. The change of weather! Summers are long, hot and humid here. Autumn brings crisp, cool air and\u00a0brilliant blue skies.<\/p>\n
2. Getting out the winter clothes.<\/p>\n
3. Football – Go Panthers! Go Patriots! Go Duke!\u00a0 (Amazing that I can say that this year.)<\/p>\n
4. Basketball – Go Duke! Love college basketball, don’t care much for the pro game.<\/p>\n
5. Beautiful trees, blazing orange, yellow and red,\u00a0and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot as I walk.<\/p>\n
6. Holiday baking. I cook my Halloween pumpkin and use it to make pumpkin bread, muffins and cookies. Plus I start baking Christmas cookies in November and load the freezer with them.<\/p>\n
7. Christmas shopping. I do most of it online, but I love shopping for my family for Christmas without the pressure of the last-minute push.<\/p>\n
8. Fires in the fireplace.<\/p>\n
9. Cleaning up the tired plants from the garden and preparing it for next year.<\/p>\n
10. Thanksgiving! The overlooked holiday is one of my favorites. The focus on family, getting together and enjoying each other makes it a wonderful time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
