oh, hey, Fall

Fall is without a doubt my most favorite time of the year. For me, Fall is layering out of need rather than preference, drinking hot tea for warmth rather than mere enjoyment, and loads of lamplight while devouring a new (or old) book. Tomorrow marks the first day of October, hands down my favorite month of the year. I anticipate Fall moving into full swing with the smell of leaves, crisp mornings and nice evening walks with a good coat.

To intensify my excitement for Fall, I have made a playlist that seems just right in my mind when it comes to the season. Download it here

My description: "these songs are ones to be enjoyed with a hot mug of whatever tickles your fancy while sitting beside someone who is really good at holding hands**."

**note** On my Fall to-do list: meet a good handholder. Y'all may work as my accomplices and find one for me, not that I am nudging any elbows or anything...

2. "3 a.m." by Gregory Alan Isakov
3. "Sort of Revolution" by Fink
4. "In Winter" by Matthew and the Atlas

Fall is hands-down my favorite time of the year. As an English teacher, I speak often of mood, and let me just say, I am a huge fan of Fall's mood. I love the sleepiness, the spicy, cold air, walking out the door only to realize you must go back inside to add another layer, walking out of school to darkness at 4:00 in the afternoon, a good sweater, and drinking hot beverages in order to have warmth. These songs fit my Fall (note: I think Death Cab for Cutie sound their particularly best during the Fall season).

Happy Fall, everyone. Here's to November!
Would love to hear your favorite tunes for this season :)
