How Do You Fall in Love with Fall?

Even though I hate to see summer go...I LOVE pretty much everything about fall.  The turning of the seasons has become much more prevalent since moving to the mountains.  I love the crisp air in the morning, how the leaves turn orange, red,  & yellow, a cozy scarf, the introduction of autumn flavored lattes, and of course a flickering fire at the end of the night. 

Fall is when things start to quiet down around here, but to me, it's one of the most beautiful times in Tahoe.  Can't wait to got the festivals, drive through Hope Valley, and hopefully get to Apple Hill!  Lots to look forward to!  Here are some visuals...


MMMMM I adore that last photo...kitty in argyle?  Heart.

Find all my fall pins here!

I just love fall so SO much that I wanted to kick off a little series...


Since tomorrow is September and we're officially transitioning into fall, I thought this would be the perfect time to have some of my favorite bloggy friends tell you their five favorite fall items!  I'll be running this series every Thursday until the first {official} day of fall: September 23rd!

  Look for my first Fall 5 feature tomorrow!

So tell me...what makes you fall in love with fall?
