Summer is a thing of the past, that’s for sure. Though fall officially started nearly two weeks ago, it hasn’t yet felt truly fall-like outside.
That all changed this morning, when I awoke to wind gusts that were approaching 40 mph. I know the saying is all about March coming in like a lion, but I think it’s true of October, too, especially today.
Anyway, the green fields of corn have been slowly turning to gold of late, and I must admit, the sight always quickens my blood. I love fall. 🙂
I hope October’s been treating you right so far! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the month will bring. In the meantime, don’t forget to stop by Charnele’s blog to read all about the seasons (or lack thereof) in Jamaica!
What’s your favorite season?

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
My favorite season is Fall. I know Spring is nice, green, flowers start to bloom…
But Fall is magical. That first morning you walk out and feel the crisp, clean air. The leaves as they turn beautiful colors and fall from the trees. Raking them up in the yard. It takes me back years in time and it’s fun to just do something like that. There’s a feeling that Fall brings and I long it for it in the summer. That longing makes it all the sweeter when it arrives.
Hot chocolate, a fire in the fireplace, gathering with friends and family in the evening. I love Fall.

Yes! You’ve hit the nail on the head. One of my favorite things about fall is football games. I’m not a football fan myself, but they remind me of fun times with my friends back in high school as we sat under the lights in our band uniforms, waiting for halftime. Sweatshirt weather and curling up with warm drinks and warmer blankets to read cozy books or write fantastic stories of life as we wish it could be are things that also come to mind…
We should collaborate on a post about our favorite fall things. That would be a ton of fun. 🙂

I love Autumn. I don’t see it as the time of things beginning to die, but ridding themselves of last year to prepare for the next.

That’s a really neat way of looking at it, much more positive than the usual gloomy way of thinking about it. 🙂

I love winter even more but can’t really come up with anything more positive than “Cos it’s cold.”

I loathe winter. Sure, all that snow is pretty, but there’s never a good reason for it to be that cold.

You can have it – I don’t want it. 🙂

I love autumn! There are a few trees here that have completely turned, but there’s still a lot of green. It seems autumn has come a bit late here in New England.

I’ve got a great view out my living room window at the moment – golden corn as far as the eye can see, and a sky partly full of clouds. It’s a beautiful day, even if it is a little breezy. The few trees we have don’t really turn colors, but I wish they did. There are some in town that are practically on fire, their colors are so bright. 🙂
