Ten on Tuesday: 10 Things To Love About Fall

Today's topic is '10 Things To Love About Fall!' FUN!!

1. The cooler weather & no humidity ... yeah, I'm done with the hot, steamy stuff!

2. Spectacular colors  ... there's no place like New England to experience the glorious colors of autumn. The bright reds, golden yellows and oranges, even the browns!

3. Apples ... apple pie, apple cider, apple muffins, apple crisp, apple butter ... so many glorious ways to celebrate the apple!

4. Football! When fall rolls around, they strap on the pads & hit the turf for some rough & tough football, and we love it! 'Specially when the Patriots rout the Dolphins and make sushi out of 'em (just sayin')!

5. Baseball's Fall Classic ... love the excitement of the hunt for the pennant ... even when the Red Sox don't make the mix (hey, all the starters were on the DL for goodness sake!), we can always root against the Evil Empire!

6. Crisp, clean air scented with wood smoke.

7. The crunch of dried leaves under your feet as you take a walk in that crisp, clean air.

8. Crockpot dinners ... nothing like coming home to something warm and delicious after a day being out in the crisp, clean air.

9. Anticipating the coming winter ... I'm already planning to knit the 'Drifty' hat & mitten set, almost can't wait for it to snow!

10. Watching the pure joy on my children's faces as they dive into the huge leaf pile hubby makes for them. Yeah, lovin' fall in New England!
