The changing of the seasons...


I LOVE fall. For many people this is their favorite season. I do love it, but it's not my "favorite" per say...I finally decided a few years ago what my favorite is. I love the CHANGING of the seasons. That suits my personality. In college I changed my major 7 times (in four years...yes that's another post). I get obsessed with stuff, never to return to or finish my pursuits I once was so excited about. And I think that's why I love it when the seasons change. There's nothing better than a long hot summer coming to close by the air suddenly turning a little crisp in the morning. The beautiful green trees suddenly lighting up with color. Harvest time in the air...but that gets old after a while. The leaves get brown and dry and the cold air is less fun after a few months. Even the lovely boxes and bags of fruit taking up your whole kitchen get old ;) But add a little snow and let the games begin! The first snowfall is so fun! I love it when it just dumps and you can't hardly do anything but stay tucked up in the house, set up your Christmas stuff and drink hot chocolate by the fire. Oh, but the snow gets muddy and hard eventually and then the first signs of spring are such a welcome sight...and on it goes. I'm sure I would love living someplace like Hawaii that was a little less temperamental that Utah, but I think that might get boring after a while. I'll take my seasons and all their "mood swings". So for today...happy fall!

I do love fall, the leaves, and the crisp yummy smelling air. I like the first snowfall, but I would like it to be the last. Anytime the temp gets below 45 I regret moving here. :)

i completely agree with you! It is the newness of the seasons that make them so great!

i love this time of year, when you don't need the air conditioning anymore, but it's not quite time to use the furnace, either. plus the leaves changing, oh the leaves!
