Five Reasons to Love Fall

I love Summer. I also love Fall. However, I do not love Winter which is what makes fall so bittersweet. To emphasize the sweet rather than the bitter, I am making a short list of all the wonderful things that go along with the upcoming crisp, fresh season. Just like a trip away makes us appreciate home more, the changing seasons allow us to appreciate each for all the wonderful things that come along with it.

1. Fall Fashion. It goes without saying that Fall is when fashion peaks. Heavy September issues full of cozy sweaters, deep and rich colour, gorgeous layers and boots for everyone! Oh and don't forget the toques and scarves! Although I'm a big believer in transitioning my summer wardrobe into fall for as long as possible, I still get excited about the endless outfit options Fall brings.

2. Long walks in the crisp air. There is something about fall air that beckons you outside. Perhaps it is knowing that winter is next in line. So grab a favourite guy or gal, throw on some light layers and head out for a few hours to enjoy the softer sunlight and crisp air before hibernation season begins.

3. Fall TV Line Up. After a season of "nothing is on!" it is fun to get back to favourite shows and get excited about new ones. What will I be watching this season? The Event, Top Chef, Glee, of course Madmen, and trying to squeeze in as much of the last season of Oprah as possible.

4. Final Farmers Market Days. Hit your local market for the last of summer produce before apple and pear season sets in. Savour the heirloom tomatoes, juicy peaches, and sweet corn and say goodbye to them until next year.

5. A Fresh Start. The wonderful thing about changing seasons is it gives us a point in time to stop, reflect and press the reset button. Have some of your goals gone by the wayside? Has life become off balance in some way? Now is the time to change that. Sign up for a course you have been thinking about taking, start up your exercise routine again, and begin to make possible what you've been telling yourself is impossible!

What is on your Fall short list?
