    Okay, there are pros and cons to fall coming up. Con is that school starts and I hate the routine of the school year.
    Pro is that I LOVE the cooler weather and then after that we get some actual cold weather! Well, at least at night.
    Con. I live in FL so whichever trees don't stay green just kinda die. They never get pretty 😮 (

    Both.

    We have some new things coming up this fall so I probably have more anticipation for fall than usual. And I always like it when the power bill goes down because we don't need as much AC. But fall, with all it's excitement (and even though it is my favorite season) is really challenging for my family in the evenings! I don't like that!

    I am beyond elated to have fall on its way. Fall is right next to winter, both my favorite times of year. Fall kicks off comfortable weather, yummy pots of stew and soup, the holiday season starts with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and FOOTBALL! 🙂 Which means DH watches and I eat nachos and chili dogs.

    Summer? What summer? It has poured almost every day here in the Northeast so we've been horribly cheated out of summer.
    So it would be nice if August was actually summery before fall comes! But I am not counting on it.. it's supposed to rain here for the next week. Ugh.
