happy first day of autumn!

Wednesday, September 22, 2010

last year, autumn on capitol hill was breathtaking. and since i love this season so much, i have been anxiously anticipating the arrival of fall since it left us last year... can't wait for pumpkin patches, apple picking, cooler crisp weather, sweaters and scarves and hats, and colorful leaves everywhere!

so, happy first day of autumn!!!

Beautiful leaves! Alas we mainly have pinetrees around here, not so many beautiful things fall out of those...

Wellies and Vogue said...

I'm really excited too.. things are just starting to happen here but also no fallen leaves yet! bring on the autumn hues..

abby said...

i love the smell of leaves falling . . . and there is nothing quite like a ridge line full of pretty yellows, reds and browns!

ChloƩ said...

I am so so excited that fall is here! The weather needs to hurry up and dip below 90 in GA. That would be great!

Juultje said...

Me too love it!! Love autumn colours, would love to see the Indian Summer again...beautifull.

amber said...

we haven't had ANY cool weather in Atlanta yet, we wish fall would come! I have already made caramel apples, though I jumped the gun a bit. Apple season is JUST around the corner!!

amanda said...

Oh my, Breathtaking is the perfect word to describe it! That picture is gorgeous. I love Autumn, too!

Amy said...

Happy autumn! (Although the first day of autumn isn't actually until tomorrow according to my calendar here at work) :)

O. said...

I wish the leaves would change like that down here in Florida.

Kait said...

And a Happy 1st Day of Autumn to you as well! Where do you go apple picking/pumpkin patch(ing)? I haven't been apple picking since my college days in Ithaca, NY and would love to go again. Two years ago I took my brother to a pumpkin patch in VA somewhere (he was 10 at the time) but I think he may have outgrown it now.... whereas I never will! Last year we got married so we skipped the year but this year we will definitely be going!

Wiii!

Here we're just in our first day of spring and it's so warm and sunny, like 20ĀŗC (yeah here we measure in Celsius) I was missing heat SO much!! It's kinda funny the thing about hemispheres, isn't it? :P

Yay happy solstices!

Life Abroad said...

I love autumn too, there is something so magical about the crisp fall weather slowly breaking up summer days.

Shorty said...

Sadly it's still in the 90s where I live. But "...pumpkin patches, apple picking, cooler crisp weather, sweaters and scarves and hats, and colorful leaves everywhere!" This is exactly why I'm hoping the temps drop soon. :) Happy fall!

Daiane said...

Autumn is my very favorite time of year! We're starting it off by taking our grandchildren to Disneyland for Halloween Time today! I just the cooler weather would decide to join us!
Happy Autumn!

angela said...

Hurray for autumn! I shall wear a scarf today :)
This season in DC must be so gorgeous.

Corinna White Charlton said...

and your OWN little pumpkin is getting closer and closer to arriving!

nikki said...

I was not looking forward to fall, but your enthusiasm has made it difficult to remain crabby about it.

Thanks :)

caroline said...

I'm confused. The Pillsbury calendar in my cube says the First Day of Autumn is Thursday, September 23rd. Who do I believe, you or the doughboy?

To be honest I've been disappointed by DC's Autumns, for the five years I've lived in the area. I grew up three hours north of here, where the air is so much crisper, the foliage so much more vivid, and that thrilling sense of change just hangs in the air so much longer. In DC it seems that summer just crashes into winter and the landscape scrambles to catch up.

Autumn is my fave weather.

I love that each season means a little something different to each person and how they brings such warm memories. Fall for me is smaller waves welcoming in the big surf and competitions and when North Shore comes alive. I love this time of year. I wish we had some changing leaves or something :) Happy Fall!

Happy Autumn!!!!

My personal favorite is to hear the leaves crunch under my feet!!! I will honestly go out of my way to step on those extra crunchy ones that aren't necessarily exactly on my path hahaha.
