Happy Fall Y'all!

I love fall.

It's my favorite.  

I love when it starts to cool off.  I love when the leaves change.  I love all the decorations.  I love that it means my favorite holidays are coming.

And I love the Pumpkin Festival.

I grew up in Hendersonville so the Apple Festival was a yearly tradition.  

Since I've lived in Greenville, the Pumpkin Festival has become a tradition as well.  

We go.  We walk.  We look at all the booths. We eat boiled peanuts. We listen to bluegrass music.  We watch clogging.  We buy a couple things.  Then we eat lunch at David's aunt's restaurant. 

It's nothing extravagant, but I love it.

Looking at the booths and all the goodies for sale makes me have the same thoughts every time.

"What on earth would anybody do with that?"

"I love that.  I want it." (But I usually don't by it anyway.)

"I probably need that." (Even though I've never seemed to need it before that moment.)

"I could make that." (But I never take the time to do it.)

and...

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Today we got our boiled peanuts and a drink. 

And Eri got four new bows. (That is a popular item there.)

Now I feel like it's fall.

It seems that this day is the start of fall and the holiday season for me.

I'm excited to see how the next days, weeks, and months play out for our little family!

Happy Fall Y'all!
