Feeling Fallish in Georgia


Maybe I'm jinxing it but it's nice and cool outside today. I think the high is 67! I love Fall. Over at Glitter and Bliss, Leslie posted a few of her fav Fall things. That got me thinking of a few of my own. I love cute jackets and long sleeves. I love high heeled boots with jeans. I love the way the crisp air makes your nose tingle in the morning. I love wearing my UGG slippers to the bus stop. I love walking the dogs on a crisp morning and seeing the deer forage in the woods behind my neighborhood. It's as if God touches the earth and says "sleep" and the earth responds by getting ready for bed.
What are your favorites?
