I MISS.....

...fall in New England. I liked a page on facebook called "VisitNH - New Hampshire" and locals have been posting pictures of the fall foliage on there. It made me cry.

I grew up in Sterling, Massachusetts, a little town north of Worcester. My grandparents had a huge oak tree in front of their house (it's still there) and the amount of leaves it would drop seemed endless. Fall as a kid meant jumping in the leaves my siblings and I spent all day raking up just for a few minutes of fun. Then grandpa would eventually burn them. There is no smell like jumping in the leaves and the neighborhood all burning their leaves. When I smell ylang-ylang it takes me to that head-space for a second.

Fall in Tennessee isn't the same.
