Autumn!

I love that we can make connections between seemingly dissimilar things. We do this with emotions and colors, for instance-- yellow is happy, blue is sad, and red is excited. I like doing this with seasons, and since autumn is my favorite season, I decided to share a list of things that I've been loving for their autumn-like qualities.

All things pumpkin, especially these:
the pumpkin cupcakes at Cupcake Royale
the pumpkin bread that comes from a box at Trader Joe's (T.J.'s has taught me to never underestimate the quality of boxed mixes.)
the pumpkin spice candles I've been burning in my room

A variety of music that feels oh-so-fall:
Joni Mitchell
Bon Iver
The Weepies
Iron & Wine
Jessica Lea Mayfield
Band of Horses

Wendell Berry's poetry, which is appropriate for every season but feels especially good on a cold, rainy, subdued evening

Chai tea lattes

Knitting

Then there are those things that are directly associated with fall that I can't get enough of as well...
scarves
crisp air
college football
changing leaves

Ahhh, I love you, Autumn.
