Did you know that Autumn is my favourite season? Anne of Green Gables once said that she was so glad that she lived in a world where there were Octobers ... and even though the month has passed, I wholeheartedly agree. What makes you happy this month? Which season is your favourite?

631, 633, 638, 642, 643. So much love for these lists and autumn! <3
ReplyDeleteSamesamesame, hannah!! ^.^
DeleteMmm, those mountains are spectacular. And talking about things that matter and finding book sales and sunlight are some of my favourites too. There really is so many things to be happy about. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe all over again going through my pictures! Spectacular is a good word for it! And amen - we have so much to be thankful for!
DeleteOh man, I could just hug this post! You capture the little joys of life so well. I love love LOVE playing board games with friends into the early hours of the morning. And sunlight coming through windows and surprise cups of tea are so wonderful. <3 I think Autumn is my favorite season, too! October is hands down the best. :)
ReplyDeleteOctober is my top favourite month (closely followed by December because of CHRISTMASSS). I love fall leaves and snow the best out of all lovely weather trends <3
DeleteI love the things that make you happy! It makes me wish I had a true Autumn where I live. Where I live, it's mostly summer and winter. In December, that's the closest we get to our landscape looking autumn outside.
ReplyDeleteI love this month, though, because Thanksgiving is in it. I love Thanksgiving so much. I have so many happy memories on that day.
Ekaterina, I'm sad you don't get a full FALL experience!! Have you ever visited somewhere where all the leaves were red and the air was brisk and chilly? Do you ever get snow? (my other favourite season....)
DeleteI don't think my comment worked. :( But this post made my heart so warm!!!

Agh!!! Blogger is the worst for that! Thanks for valiantly trying again, haha! :)
DeleteYou keep reminding me with these lists of my own gratitude list collecting dust.
ReplyDeleteI have to say Spring is my favorite season, but Autumn is second!
Dust it off again and get going, girl!! You can do this! :) Spring is also beautiful - I like the first day all the green leaves open up!
Delete#635: Which fictional princess are you writing about?
ReplyDeleteThe goose girl, from Emma Donoghue's short story "The Tale of the Handkerchief"! It's a great one!
DeleteOh, I know the story but I haven't read Emma Donoghue's version! By the way, have you read Shannon Hale's novel "Goose Girl"? It's deliciously good.
DeleteI was blog browsing, and I run into your "happy lists". I loooooove reading what other people are thankful for, both the writing and reading of such lists make me happy :). I started "Thankful Thursdays" back when I was 14... I thought it was an original idea (and really, it was, because I didn't read many blogs back then ;)...)... but it proved "there is nothing new under the sun", haha, because I find them everywhere, which is fun :).
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the quote by "Anne" that you mentioned. I actually made that quote into a wall decor canvas for my Etsy shop, because it's the perfect October quote <3!
Rejoicing in Hope,
