Fall is my favorite time of year!  I used to love the way everything changed back home in NY.  Everything is such vibrant, warm colors and there is a distinct crisp smell that fills the air when the leaves start changing and falling off the trees.  I only appreciate it now that I don't get to experience it every year.  Hay bails, apples, cinnamon, leaves, mums, corn stalks, pumpkins, frost.....just isn't the same in Mississippi.  Now I just light a candle that smells like these things and pretend that its cold and colorful outside. :-)
