An Ode to Autumn

This is my favorite time of year. I am so excited for Autumn! For some reason I want to start buying the fall issue of the Eddie Bauer catalog, take a trip to New England, watch Ann of Green Gables and wear a lot of sweaters. I also might add I love fall clothing! I love the leaves changing color, the crisp cold air, corn mazes, apples, pumpkins, fall decor, comfort food, the starting of school, hot cider/chocolate, football games (I really only like these because they are autumn activities in my book) and so many other things about this season. I kind of go berserk when October hits. I feel like I have to get all of my love of Autumn into one month because in Utah it is gone before you know it!

I have to admit that I am sorely missing Logan right now. My favorite things about Logan were all in the Autumn time. We seemed to get it a lot longer than most places in Utah. I remember going to Utah State and crunching through the mountains of leaves on the sidewalks. I loved that! I will miss the Pumpkin Walk, the Jensen Historical Farm, Apple orchards and that everyone put up their fall decorations in September!

I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies tonight for dessert in honor of the fall fever I am beginning to get. Josh always teases me that as soon as October begins we are in a mad rush to finish doing all of the things I want to do by the end of the month. I am excited to visit Gardner Village this year. I have heard that is awesome. If anyone else has some great Autumn activities for Salt Lake, I would love to hear them. We need to begin new traditions and I am not quite sure what is here to do. I need to start working on my list!
