Growing up, my favourite season was always summer. As I got older, however, this changed. By the time August rolled around I was ready for the bugs to clear out and cooler temperatures to blow in. Nowadays I get excited when I see the leaves start to change colour. Here are my very favourite things about fall. Enjoy!
1. Wearing Layers.
I'll be honest, so much of my wardrobe involves layers that I hardly know how to dress for the summer season anymore. I prefer warm scarves, big sweaters and long coats to a two-piece bathing suit.
2. Soup.
Fall is slow-cooking season! There is nothing better on a cold day than a bowl of home-made soup and a big slice of warm, fresh-baked bread.
3. Rainy Days.
Things can get pretty wet on the coast, and Vancouver Island happens to be home to
the wettest place in North America! While you can count on plenty of rainy days, especially during fall and winter, the relatively humid climate ensures that you'll often see dense fog billowing amongst the trees. While those with seasonal-affective disorder may not appreciate these fall scenes, my fellow pluviophiles can rejoice for plenty of rainy days.
4. Warm Beverages.
As a self-described tea addict, I don't need a season to come around in order to enjoy a warm beverage. However, it's nice to not have to hear, "how can you drink that? It's so hot!" every time I hold the cup to my lips. Get out of my face, all of you.
5. School.
I straight up hated school so much as a kid I graduated three years late from high-school. Being in University totally changed that for me! I now enjoy getting back in to class and seeing all of my profs and my crazy cohort.
6. Spooky Season.
There's an annual tradition in my hometown where we line a particularly long road with pumpkins the night after Halloween. This winding rural road has long been referred to as the "Shady Mile" and it can be quite the sight.
And these were my 6 favourite things about fall! I'm curious to know, did I miss anything? Let me knoe what your favourite things are.
