I am not super excited about the end of summer – I love the long days with sunshine – but since everyone else is delightedly shrieking about pumpkin spice, here’s a brief list of things that I am looking forward to with the eventual arrival of autumn (not yet, but eventually):

• Hoodie weather – also known as “the end of me sweating constantly when outdoors”. 
• Baking! I’ll be able to use the oven again!
• Open windows, everywhere. Work! Home! Car!
• Sleeping with the windows open! Fresh air is so good.
• Flannel weather – where my husband wears his flannel shirts and I get to snug up to him.
• Wearing running shoes and not having my feet sweat.
• Did I mention that I’m really looking forward to the end of the constant sweating?
• Hot tub season!
• Candles.
• Keeping chapstick in my car again without fearing it turning into a greasy puddle.
• Not being dehydrated after being outdoors for 5 minutes (read: sweating).
• Rockton World’s Fair time! Cows!!
• At some point, my beloved husband will make his homemade, from scratch, bread stuffing.
