When I stepped outside this morning to head to work, I thought to myself, "Today is the first morning that feels like fall."

The thought made me smile because the in-between fall season is my favorite. For me, fall brings warm mugs of apple cider, changing leaves, pumpkin-flavored dishes and desserts, cozy sweaters, crisp air, bright sunshine, my birthday, possibility and hope.
In our
October issue (on sale September 18), the MM team shares favorite fall quotations, and we ask you to share your favorites, as well. Post Autumn quotations, reflections and pages
here.
I took the photos featured in this blog during the last few fall seasons, and I'm looking forward to snapping some great photos this year, too. I'm thinking that a collection of favorite fall photos would make a delightful theme album!
