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.
