Ahhhh, this is a great time of year.
Some people plan months in advance for Christmas decorating; I practically salivate over fall. Come September as other people are squeezing out the last remnants of summer at Labor Day cookouts, I'm giddily pulling down my plastic bin stuffed with autumn leaf garlands and pumpkin-laden decorations. I'm oblivious to the fact that it's still 95 degrees outside. In our house, it's already autumn. I love the vibrant colored leaves, the chilly evenings, the sunlight that is a little softer, and the energy and excitement that the season brings.
It wasn't always this way with me. In fact, until about the last ten years or so I reveled in summer's heat and dreaded "sweater weather." Do you see changes in your life--big or small--and wonder when the tide turned? In this case, I have no idea what changed me. ...Perhaps it was a mission trip years ago to crisp, fragrant, appropriately-named Pine, Arizona. Perhaps it was marrying a man who adores fall. Perhaps it was discovering the joys of flavored ca
ppuccinos. Or maybe it was realizing that 105-degree summer days really aren't fun. Oh, well--it doesn't matter if I figure it out. I'll just concentrate on enjoying these wonderful, fleeting days of fall.So...what is your favorite season?

The colors last fall around Red River were unbelievably beautiful. I love fall and getting to see that last year was a great gift from God (even if I'm not happy with Ali for putting up a picture I'm in).

Well, now that I've seen that gorgeous photo of Dave, fall is now my favorite time of the year!
Actually, it was my favorite before the Dave photo. I love foggy mornings and yellow leaves. I love having to scrap frost and then roll up my long sleeves because the sun just came out.
Good one Will. Except that I have to think that he is a good looking man - for obvious reasons.
I like the chill in the fall mornings. It just feels right to me for some reason. It's like being in Cloudcroft in July. You feel as if the morning was made cool just for your enjoyment and you can't help but feel good in weather that just refreshes and relaxes you. It is a great feeling to enjoy the few hours befor and after sunrise doing nothing but chatting with Kara as you feel the chill on your skin. Now that feeling only occurrs with Kara around so the rest of you are just out of luck I guess.
Awwwww, Daniel. ::wub::
