Fall into Winter
Swinging in a hammock
Crackers and assorted cheeses
Music up loud in the car, encased in the sound
Every phase of the moon, especially a full one
Home full of friends for homecoming
Getting an early voting sticker
Crisp autumn breezes airing out the house
Sneakers squeaking on a basketball court
Apple and blueberry fritters, maple bacon glaze doughnuts from the local doughnut shop
“II Hands II Heaven” and sunny, clear blue skies on a Sunday morning run
Dark rooms illuminated by the light of a full moon
Finding new channels unlocked on the cable box
Adopting the phrase “retire to my quarters”
The care of your mother
Three houses, clearly in cahoots, with giant Christmas inflatables in their front yards
Finally making cookies that don’t spread like legs
The surprise of a third cookie instead of two
Hearing music you love, live in concert
Hugging one of your favorite artists after a show
Stars shining on a clear night through an unobscured window
Making your own trail mix
Tomato soup and grilled cheese
