It's true. I'm in love with fall. My true love season has always been summer with its lure of sunshine, flip flops, water-based activities, beaches and delish seasonal fruits. However, I've recently discovered that I'm having a love affair with fall. Seriously, I've noticed this budding romance since fall of 2007 when I moved back to Seattle after my time in Pasadena where fall is pretty much non-existent.
Since then I've become completely sentimental over all things fall- the colorful leaves, the crisp air, all pumpkin food products, corn mazes, gourds and apple cider. I've even convinced myself that I like butternut squash when I'm not totally sure my tastebuds are on board. Our apartment even looks kind of like a pumpkin patch right now and I love it. Fall here in DC has been fairly lame unless you walk on Capitol Hill or go to Rock Creek Park (loved a long bike ride there yesterday through the beautiful leaves), but the colors outside the city are even more amazing. Apparently Virginia and Maryland are good for something.
Even though the DC area puts on a good show of the season, I do miss fall in Seattle- something about the mountains accompanying the fall colors. But I can't complain about the view from here. So thank you fall for being so amazing and please don't tell summer that you're kind of my new favorite.
