fall..
i luv autumn. i cant say when it became my favorite season but when i figured it out it made me extremely content when its that time of year..
i luv autumn because:
- its cool but not bone-chillin. well, i suppose this depends on where you live/are but i think its safe to say that its not as cold as winter..
- the view outdoors is much nicer w/ the sweepin palette of colors..
- despite wut the calendar tries to dictate, the new yr effectively begins in sept for me. maybe its cuz the whole school-begins-around-labor-day has been drilled into my psyche for some 15 yrs..
- i can roll down the windows as i drive in my car. i dislike a/c..
- if its cold enough, i can actually smell some of that fireplace smoke in the neighborhood--and i luv that smell. in fact, this may be the second-best aspect of winter (the first bein snow--did i mention i proposed to esther in snow?)..
- did i mention because its so nice and cool outside? its not burnin hot (id rather freeze in antartica than burn in the sahara) yet no winter coat is necessary. i hate heat..
and so thats why i cant stand this climate change over the weekend. it was great last wk w/ the brisk air but since yesterday its been nothin but humidity and discomfort. i hate it..
but perhaps the best reason i like fall: its time for a change..
ps - wut took me so long? we re two months into the season and just NOW im writin about it. idiot..

I love fall too. The sports, the weather, the smells. I love seeing the bursts of colors in the trees as I drive down. What a nice time of the year...
You're not an idiot. It just takes a while to appreciate something that has been slowly creeping up on you.
