Fall

Everybody loves fall. Football season, holiday parties and cooler weather. I heard somebody say this morning "man it went from summer straight to winter, it's gonna be 30 degrees tonight!" Maybe for a couple of days, yeah, but here in the south it will warm back up. I've sat outside with short sleeves on at many a Christmas party, it's one of the reasons I like living here. The seasons change.

But one thing that changes is the pace in which everyone moves around. We all start acting like people from the north (Atlanta and above) moving quickly everywhere we go. But down here we also smile more. The cool air is like a private joke that only we get. A tease. Could just be the Christmas spirit that retailers now think we need before Halloween, but people seem nicer. I guess the heat just "wipes that smile right off your face". But really it is just that the season is changing.

January comes along, then Febuary, and we start wondering when it will ever warm up. It wont be any colder than it is now, we just want it to change. I have never lived in an area without seasons. Seems like paradise when you're sitting in a warm house and looking at barren trees and dreary skies, but I bet it's dull. You never put your summer clothes away and get out your long sleeves. You may not like winter clothes but everyone has a favorite jacket. Get out your "Lucky Shirts" . You can build a fire outside a sit as close as you can to it without smelling burning hair. When you smell something burning you simply turn around and heat the other side. You change sides.

This all sounds really good today. Taylor and I bought some new LED Christmas lights yesterday at Lowes. We Looked at all the artificial Christmas trees and decorations and got excited! Gonna turn the gas logs on tonight and cook something good for supper. We bought the makings for a pumpkin pie to bake and we might even build a fire in the backyard firepit. Enjoy some fall activities! This all sounds like an exciting night to me. We will probably have evenings similiar to this from now through the new year. But I know that very soon I will be ready for a change!
