Twenty things I treasure this time of year (in no particular order):
1. Porch decorations of pumpkins and other gourds, scarecrows
2. Spooky Halloween decorations of ghosts and fake spider webs
2. Slow and glowing sunsets that make the sky look like melting ice cream
3. The air-conditioning not kicking on all night
4. Pulling out the blankets from the linen closet
5. Considering and planning the Thanksgiving meal
6. Thinking of Christmas gift ideas for friends and family
7. The scent of cinnamon, oranges and cloves
8. Watching football with friends
9. Evening walks with Cheyenne, observing the glowing light in the windows of neigbhoring homes
10. Boots
11. Perhaps not chilly, but definitely cool air mornings
12. Long-sleeve, thick cotton T-shirts
13. Making soup
14. Patio dining
15. Falling leaves
16. Changing out the mantle decorations
17. Just about everyone saying, Can you believe it's already October?
18. Pulling out sweaters from storage bins
19. Putting summer clothes into storage bins
20. Wreaths

I know yours are not in order, but for my list, boots tops it. I can't get enough of them, and I'm glad I have 2 pair of cowboys boots from my time in Texas to throw into the mix!
