Thirteen Things I Love About October

I've seen a few blogs today with a post like this one....usually they do their 13 list on Thursdays (Thursday Thirteen is what they call it). I love the idea, so I thought I'd do this on my blog today, even though it's Saturday:)! Here goes:

Thirteen Things I Love About October
1. The crisp, cool air
2. The leaves changing color on the trees
3. That I get to wear my comfy sweatshirts and sweaters again!
4. Taking pictures of all the beautiful trees
5. October means candy, candy, candy! Snickers are my favorite Halloween candy.
6. The sound of my son's marching band on Football Friday nights!
7. The crunch of the leaves as I walk through the grass
8. Comfort foods like soup, stew, bread, etc.
9. Picking apples at the apple orchard!!
10. Making homemade applesauce with the apples I pick!
11. Watching my son play football on a sunny, cool day
12. Cozy nights in front of the fire
13. Holding a warm cup of cider in my hands

Have you ever thought about your favorite October things? I hadn't until today, and I have to say, it was fun to think about. October reminds me of all I have to be thankful for in this life. This time of year is a constant reminder of the beauty God created on this earth. Seeing nature at it's best like this is proof that there is a God!

I'll try to post some cards tomorrow--I've been a busy, busy girl!
