Fall-ing in Love

How do I love Autumn in Nashville? Let me count the ways:

* Shakespeare in the Park
* Live on the Green
* Greek Festival
* Fall TACA Arts Fair
* Wine on the River
* Oktoberfest
* Southern Festival of Books
* HallowEast

Sure, September and October are my crazy-busy months at work...but they are also the months when the heat finally drops below hell-levels, and countless festivals and impromptu backyard bbqs fill in the beautiful, temperate weekend hours.

I love inhaling the crisp, clean air...
I love watching the trees change into their red and gold finest, like they're putting on party dresses...
I love picking out the funkiest, misshapen gourds at the farmer's market...
I love sitting by a fire pit, sipping wine under the stars...

I. Love. Fall.
