20 little things

Melissa @The Inspired Room recently made a list of 20 little things to Treasure in Autumn and asked others to play along.  It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of fall.  Here in So Cal, the weather still seems very summery although it is beginning to get chilly in the evenings.  There are, however, a few things  I am looking forward to in the next couple of months.

1. crisp clear mornings – the kind in which you can sometimes see your breath
2. hot chocolate w/ marshmallows
3. rainy days
4. rainy nights when the sound of rain on the roof sings me to sleep
5. fires in our fire place
6. snuggling on the couch with a good book and soft blanket
7. getting out the down comforter for my bed – it’s so big and fluffy and super comfy
8. Halloween
9. Thanksgiving
10. pumpkins and jack o lanterns
11. the smell of Turkey cooking
12. hot tea w/ honey before bed.  this is one thing i miss the most in the heat of the summer
13. when the leaves finally change color
14. soup for dinner
15. soup for lunch
16. soup just for the sake of soup
17. my birthday
18. the little monkey’s birthday
19. the boy’s birthday
20. USC football games

What do you like about fall?
