Feeling Fallish

Well here it is that time of year again, when Summer is waning and Autumn is falling.  Some love this time of year, and some dread this time of year.  I'm one of those who is already mourning and whining about the end of Summer.  I am a heat and sun seeker, wanting to be outside from sun up til sun down.  There are 5 days left until the "official" end of Summer and beginning of Fall... the question is.... where DID this Summer go?

I can feel Fall in the air, and am beginning to see signs of Fall in the trees.  I really actually don't mind the Fall season... it's just that... Fall comes and goes so quickly, and then before you can say Happy Halloween, we are in the midst of Winter.  Fall is definitely a very beautiful time of the year, with a the beautiful colors, crispiness in the air, and a very earthy scent filling the nostrils.

On my bucket list is taking a trip up to the North East for the "color tour"... however, this won't be the year for that because my schedule is already booked thru January, but I am sure it will get checked off my bucket list in the next couple of years.

I truly try to be a positive person... so in keeping with that... I will focus on the good things that the season of Fall brings with it.  Such as... caramel apples, leggings/jeans worn with boots, sweaters and scarfs, Halloween and Trick or Treating.  Thanksgiving and the feast that goes with, pumpkins, apple pie, football games and tailgating, apple cider and hot chocolate, lit fires in the fire place... the list goes on and on, and I'm sure you readers have your own special things to add to this list.

Once Winter has also arrived, it's not soooo bad... the snow is pretty and delightful, Winter brings Christmas, New Years, and Valentines Day.  But Winter also brings... heavy coats and sweaters that are necessary, along with the need for car hinnie heaters and defrosting the windows.  Once the fun holidays of Winter have come and gone, there is always the promise that Spring is just around the corner.

I do enjoy the change that the different seasons bring with them, but no season makes me happier than Summer... with the scent of suntan lotion, chlorine, and sunshine!  Here's to a fun Fall, beef stew, caramel apples, cutie patootie children in their Halloween costumes, and to boots, sweaters, and scarfs!
