Seven Signs That Fall is on Its Way

By

You’re floating through summer, enjoying the slower pace, the days spent at the beach, the nights by a campfire. You feel as though it’s barely begun and then suddenly, BAM! Summer is over.

You’re buying school supplies for your kids, trying pants on them for when the days get cooler, and wondering how the heck it went by so fast.

So the next time you find yourself wondering if summer is truly on its way out, just look for these signs of fall and you’ll know for sure.

      I’ve seen lots of people all excited for their pumpkin spice coffee (and I saw your post about it having lots of sugar. I’m glad I don’t do Starbucks!!)
      I agree that the scarecrows are kinda cute, but the decorations I really like are the ones with mums, pumpkins, hay bales, and cornstalks. I guess I like all the natural stuff 🙂

    PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES!! They’re coming back early you know! Of course you know. Haha, I can’t wait! I love fall, I’ve had my boots out ready to be worn for like 12 months now! BRING ON THE CRUNCHY LEAVES!

      I love fall too! Summer seemed short this year, but I caved and put up my decorations yesterday. Might as well stretch it out and enjoy it before the long winter!

    Hahah, #1 makes me laugh. I love PSLs too, but people go crazy on Facebook about them! When I was in school #2 is funny too, I would always laugh on the first “cold” day all the girls would show up in scarves and boots.
