Things I miss about Fall in New Hampshire

With the new "cooler" (aka not 100 degree) temperatures in Texas, I have been thinking about/missing New Hampshire a lot. When you picture a perfect fall, a quintessential fall, you probably picture most of the characteristics of these months in NH.



Among the things I miss most...

Changing leaves that made me wish for a longer commute to/from Lindt every day;

(It really does look like this everywhere!)

Going to the farm down the highway from our house and shopping for pumpkins, mums and cider;

(this is when Becky and Janie came to visit in 2008!)

Dunkin Donuts (and their annoying Rachel Ray commercials);

Coffee from the drive-though coffee shack in Newmarket -- the reason I am now addicted to caffeine;

Walking around downtown Portsmouth with a jacket on;

Red Hook fall brews;

Windows at the house all the way OPEN during the day;

Having a cute fall-y front porch;

Going to scary haunted corn mazes with Steve and Marisol - and their crazy Halloween parties;

Having the actual woods as our backyard;

Spending our first Thanksgiving as a married couple with Navy friends at the Stacks' house;

Showing off the beautiful states of NH and ME;

AND, all of our friends (who are also our family) on the USS Louisville!

Fall just isn't the same in Texas, and might be one of my few complaints about living here again. So, if you are still in NH/ME - or anywhere where there is a real change of season, enjoy the weather, scenery, food and feeling of FALL.

Me ke aloha,
