    13 Favorite Fall Quotes

    October 11, 2018 /

    I am devoted to autumn. It’s when I fell in love, got married, had my first baby, and become totally and irrevocably sold on our dream home. Even though the descent into autumn signifies the end of summer and the approaching winter there is something so invigorating about the season. As the weather turns cold we hold connotations of warmth, love, family. In honor of this magical season season here are some of my favorite quotes about fall in no particular order.
