Hello, Fall!

"Autumn Leaves" by John Everett Millais
Fall is probably my favorite season, followed closely by winter, which is really sad because I live in the south where we have fall for about a week before moving into the worst, wettest winter you could imagine. In honor of fall finally arriving, I'm going to do a post on names that remind me of fall and relate to it. *I wanted to thank my sister, Abby, for helping with this list!

  1. Autumn is my favourite season too, although I actually love all the seasons except the 3-6 weeks of summer which is unbearably hot.

    Lusine and Millaray are so pretty, and don't seem out of place at all.

    1. I quite like it! I think it might be better suited for a cat, though.
