1. Fall Foliage. Who doesn't love the turning of the leaves?! The sycamore trees are all turning a beautiful shade of gold, the crepe myrtles are glowing orange, the red maples are finally living up to their namesake, and the cypress trees are starting to rust. Fall is South Louisiana is beautiful!
2. College Football. How 'bout them Tigers!! Between the Honey Badger and the Mad Hatter the wins keep on coming. And the night games continue to elude us. Every conference game thus far has been picked up by a major network for the 2:30pm slots. This will be the first time since 1935 that a home conference game as not been played at night in Tiger Stadium. It's a bittersweet statistic. Our Tigers are undefeated and the whole country seems to want to see Les and our Tigers play but there's just something about a Saturday night in Baton Rouge that makes your hairs stand on end. And what does Less say, “There’s a lot of magic in that stadium,” Miles said. “… But it’s a special place to play daytime or night.” Yes sir, it sure is!
3. Pumpkin Pie. Is my most favorite dessert of all time. My Mama is bringing me one to Canton in 3 weeks and my mouth is already watering. I never really liked cake growing up so for my birthday I would ask for pumpkin pie. Just say no to cool-whip too! My Mom's is the best of the best and with a cold glass of milk, it's like a little slice of heaven. Amen.
4. Crisp Cool Mornings. I feel a little more...alive, when I walk outside to a cool fall morning. I watch the sun come up on my way to work with my sunroof down or I'll grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the morning sun from my back porch on the weekends. It's mornings like this that I think God made them just for me...and my Mama.
5. Candy Corn. I know, you may be saying candy corn is available year round. But it's just not the same, candy corn is a fall staple. Who knew sugar or corn syrup could ever taste so good! I think the cavities might just be worth it. Did you know this stuff has been around since the 1880's!
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot
