I want FALL!

I want:

to drink hot cocoa

to see fall colors in the trees

to wear a scarf

to be able to wear my red pea coat

to walk and not die of a heat stroke

to see Ruby in her little walking sweater

to have dark-blond low lights

to go shopping for fall clothes

to be wrapped in a blanket while reading a book

to drink Mandarin orange tea

to watch football on a cold day

to go to Colorado to see the aspens turn colors

to put my flannel sheets on my bed

to eat chili and cornbread!

Am I the only one that is excited about fall coming? And why doesn't anyone say 'autumn' instead of fall? I think it sounds prettier.
