Crisp Air & Changing Leaves

Hey, long time no speak. Sorry for the lack of communication. I'm currently working full time while having 3 hour musical rehearsals every night. Oddly enough..I've noticed that that busier I am, the more energy I have. I thought that the opposite would ensue, but hey...I'm not complaining.

Home Sweet Home a couple years ago

Living in Maryland is quite enjoyable..I get to experience all four seasons. Winter is only fun when it snows-and yeah, the Holidays are fun too. Spring brings the amazing thunder storms and flowers. Summer is an even more intense Spring. And then there is Fall...my fav. Fall means many things to me. 

• Fresh crisp air
• Colors
• Ricciuti's Butternut Squash Bisque
• Hot apple cider
• Wine Festivals
• Pumpkin Seeds
• Feeling comfortable in a T-shirt or a sweater-take your pick!
• Scarves
• Boots
• Windows open at all times
• Pumpkin Spice Candles
• Craving more naps
• Candy Corn 
• Hearing my friends get excited about football 
• Giving Trick-Or-Treaters candy when I secretly want to be running house to house with them
• The spiders are bigger and for someone reason they like to throw surprise parties in my car
• Never raking the leaves because they will be back with a vengeance within an hour
• Hocus Pocus and Halloween Town are on television.
• My appetite increases in preparation for my body to gain insulation for the winter
• Sugar Loaf Mountain  

 Fall is my favorite. It's brings me happiness, taste-bud satisfaction, guilt free naps, and it smells amazing. Last night was my first night of feeling the crisp cool air, and I enjoyed every shiver. As I type this, I am inhaling the amazing scent of my Pumpkin Spice candle and I feel the cool breeze through my open window. Life is good. 

Dear Autumn, 

I missed you. Please don't ever leave me again. This is my love letter to you. 

Love,
Dana

P.S. Seriously, don't transition into Winter.
