When I first started writing the Sugar Maple romance series, I knew that the first book would focus on a fall festival. As soon as I began writing, the story was there as well as the town, the characters, and more.
I’m not sure when autumn became my favorite season, but I know several reasons WHY it’s my favorite.
I’m not sure when autumn became my favorite season, but I know several reasons WHY it’s my favorite.
- IT’S BEAUTIFUL. The fall season is just simply gorgeous in Tennessee. The trees are a cacophony of bright colors. When I’m driving in the early morning, I love seeing the fog and smoke rising through the hills. It makes my heart ache from its beauty.
- THE SCENTS. The smells I associate with fall including cinnamon, wood smoke, cider, pumpkin spice, and more are just so intoxicating. Who doesn’t love them?
- THE WEATHER. I don’t know about where you live, but in Tennessee, summer can be hot and humid. The fall season, on the other hand, promises cooler, perfect (in my opinion) weather.
- THE CELEBRATIONS. The autumn season is full of celebrations. From fall festivals to Halloween’s trick-or-treating to Thanksgiving, there’s so much to see and do and enjoy in autumn.
- THE FOOD. What is more delicious than flavored coffees, sweet and spicy desserts, Turkey and dressing, and more? The seasonal food in autumn has a flavor all its own. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
- THE ANTICIPATION. Speaking of celebrations, autumn is the perfect lead-up to the Christmas season. What’s better than being right in the middle of your favorite season? Knowing that another fun and special holiday is just around the corner.
- A NEW BEGINNING. It may sound strange, but I’ve always looked at fall as a fresh start. I think that’s because every August heralds the beginning of school. I’ve also personally started many new endeavors in the autumn.
As you can see, I have several reasons for my own favorite season choice. What is your favorite season and why?
