I think fall is one of the hardest seasons to get through without missing home. It isn't even real big exciting things that make me miss it. It's the little things like the fall leaves and lights wrapped around the railing going up the stairs, the pumpkin spice candles burning in the evenings, and our family fall parties. Fall just always had a warm and happy feeling to it. I'm not saying that I don't have warm and happy feelings anymore, but it's different.
I bought some "fall scented", Febreeze the other day to recreate that warm fall feeling. Because a lot of memories are associated with smell, I can close my eyes and pretend like I'm sitting next to that railing while enjoying those pumpkin candles.
On a not so sad sounding note, Steven and I went to a little park down the road and got some pictures in the leaves. It didn't last real long because it was cold and the all the dogs running around found the camera quite fascinating, but we still got some good ones!
