I love fall, it’s my favourite season. I love the crispness in the air, the way the leaves change colour, and getting to wear cozy sweaters again. As much as I’m a huge wuss about being cold, it still bugs me less than being too hot. At least if I’m cold I can put on a sweater, if I’m too hot I just have to live with being sweaty and stinky.
Direct sunlight not being as overwhelming is also pretty great – I’m kind of light sensitive and even with sunglasses direct sunlight is uncomfortable for me. In the summer I spend a lot of time hiding from the daystar.
Fall drinks like tea, mulled wine, and hot apple cider are fantastic too. And pho! I freaking love pho, but it’s just not the same when it’s hot out. Not to mention bourbon, which I also love but is not exactly a refreshing summer drink (that said if you do have refreshing summer cocktail recipes with bourbon I’d love to see them).
Where I am it’s still only kinda sorta almost fall but it’s getting there!
I usually dread fall because it signals the start of my SAD, but I’ve had better success managing that the last couple of years. Also, pumpkin spice everything is very nice. (My shower currently smells like pumpkin pie! I soap up and get hungry.)
Also I happen to be looking for bourbon recs! So far I’ve tried Elijah Craig (fine but I want to try new things) and Bulleit (hmm, that’s certainly alcohol). Anything you really like? It’s really too bad I didn’t start drinking the stuff when I lived in Tennessee…then I’d know these things. 😀
