Autumn in the Air
Fall is coming.
Can you smell it? Not in the middle of the balmy day, no...but in the morning before the sun comes up. There's just something that changes in September. The rain is becoming refreshing-- not just an excuse for the asphalt to steam and the humidity to reach 100% without actual rain in the forecast.
Everything outside my window is wet and lush and dripping. You can hear the plants and trees heave a huge sigh of relief. Even the birds pick up the pace, having finished raising the babies. They can now become introspective once more.
I feel autumn under my skin like an impending excitement. I always have. Summer beats down on me, Spring drives me out of my peaceful frame of mind, and winter-- which is a close second to autumn-- can get drepressing. But the oncoming autumnal season makes me want to cavort out in the swaying grass, and run like a horse with the coursing thunderstorms.
Mushrooms in the yard? Delightful fairy rings! Being able to play outside without sweating to death? Invigorating! Purchasing Halloween signs and stuffed crows to adorn the foyer? PRICELESS!
Cheers to you all with the onset of Fall!
How do the seasons effect you? Just curious...

I love the smell of fall, the start of football season, and the need for a sweater at dusk. I also love preparing the ground for spring.
I loathe winter. I moved south to avoid it.
I adore spring, but it makes me hyper. I also begin getting things ready for a garden...which will likely die in the heat of a Carolina summer.
I spend the entire summer trying to think of ways to stay cool.
I love the fall. Absolutely. Completely. It is my favorite of all seasons. It always gives me the feeling of renewal, unlike spring, which depresses me. Ah...
renn - I agree with you 100%!
Grace - where'd ya go?
