Friday's Five Faves

Oh joy, it's the weekend!  And tomorrow it is officially fall...my most favorite season!!  It's even starting to feel like fall around here.  Check out the temps for the week...
 
 

In true blogging fashion, I must do my 5 favorite things about fall...
 
* Leaves changing beautiful colors.  Birmingham is so pretty this time of year with all the trees, rolling hills and bright colors.  I love going out for drives on the weekend.
 
* Speaking of drives, I am really enjoying my convertible now that it has cooled down.  Everyday when I leave work, that top goes down.  So nice!
 
* Boots, duh.  My friend had on some cute ones the other day and guess where she got them?  Old Navy...for like $30!  They have several cute boots and flats and I really love the colorful moccasins.
 
* Heading outside for a run.  Exercise is just so much more enjoyable when it's not so daggone hot.  Running in the summer feels like a chore.  Running in the fall is peaceful and invigorating.  Love crunching those leaves and acorns too!
 
* Busting out the slow cooker for chili's, soups and stews.  I have several new recipes I've been wanting to try, but my favorite veggie chili will probably be the first to break in Slow Cooker Saturdays.
 
By the way, do you know that I have not even tried my beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte yet?  I may have to finally get one this weekend.  I am also jonesing for Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter, but heard it's not in stores yet.  That is a definite fall staple for me!
