for the love of autumn

This is the time of year when I start craving fall.

Like I've already said...I love pumpkin anything.

Cheesecake.  Latte.  Bread.  Pie.

I love the leaves & little children (& us "grown ups" too) playing in them.

I love that time we went to Burt's Pumpkin Patch.  That should happen again.

I love that it means Thanksgiving is coming!

And the weather is perfect...not too hot, not too cold.  This reminds me of the beginning of You've Got Mail when Meg Ryan (sweet, adorable Kathleen Kelly) is talking about how much she loves New York in the fall.  Love New York.  Want to go in the fall.  With a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils.

 

Dear loooong hair, please come back to me.

P.S. Pray for this sweet girl as she just headed off to China today to teach for a year!

And it's the perfect weather for a little hike.  I always loved the 1st time I got to break out that AGD sweatshirt.  Actually, who am I kidding?  I wore it year round...

Also, my dad's standing downhill...he's not that short & I, obviously, am not that tall.

And, oh the colors! B-E-A-utiful!

And it's the time when my Case is near giddy about Jasper's Marble Festival. :)

We look too good to fool anyone.  We ran mostly walked, skipped, frolicked, galloped the fun run.  But fun, it was!

AND...GOLD RUSH!  My first time as an alum this year, I plan on eating several sweet potato biscuits & taking many pictures of some cute Alpha Gam's rocking to raise money for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation for diabetes research.

 

 Our 1st Gold Rush as Alpha Gams...we were such babies!  :)

Seeing as how almost every single one of these pictures is in Dahlonega, think I miss it just a little bit?  Especially this time of year?  Can't wait for a visit!  :)

It's my heart.
