Fall...

I always here people talking about their favorite seasons. I could never really say that I had a favorite...until now!

I have discovered my love for Fall. I know, a little late but better late than never!

Of course my #1 reason why I love Fall is the NFL season is back!! Mr and I spend Sundays watching the games and eating ridiculously unhealthy food. Love every minute of it!

This weekend however I discovered a few other reasons why I love Fall.

I finally got around to tackling my garden before the Winter. I have been putting it of for a month now and was starting to doubt if I was ever going to get it done. This is when I discovered my #2 reason - Fall gardening.
I feel like I have uncovered something new and exciting even though I know most people who garden do this every year. I normally clean things up a little and cut back some plants but that's about it. I put in a couple of hours work this year and it is going to make my life so much easier in the Spring.
I weeded, cut back, relocated, planted bulbs, dug up bulbs, and spread some mulch. It felt really good to get out and accomplish all of that. The best part about gardening this time of year is that all the bugs are gone!

After I had that all done I went to check on Mr and see what he was up to. He had been cleaning out this garage while I was gardening. Its a big place with a lot of stuff ('important' stuff though) everywhere. I decided to give him a hand with a few things and turned out to have a good afternoon with him.
Reason #3 why I love Fall - Mr and I usually work together to get things done around the yard and cleaned up for the Winter. Feels good to work together to get things done - Its time well spent together.
Its amazing how much of a different it makes to just clean up garbage and put things back where they belong - that accounted for about 75% of the mess. I helped Mr tidy up a few work benches and cleaned up all the recycling and took it back for refund. We made $25 off it, I know not a lot but money Mr would of just thrown in the garbage!

All and all it was a great day - beautiful day full of accomplishments and laughs. What more could you ask for!

I will leave you with this thought.....

GO PATS GO!!!!
