I love autumn! Gorgeous, earthy colors, brisk air, sweaters, campfires, early sunsets . . . it’s the only season that irresistibly tempts me outdoors. Hands down, my favorite time of the year, and I don’t really know why. This is one thing I didn’t get from my mom. She doesn’t like this time of year. Says it depresses her. Everything dying . . . winter setting in. She is definitely a spring/summer person. It’s one of the few places our paths diverge. I love the falling leaves, the chill in the air, even the shorter days. Fall festivals, Celebration, pumpkins and mums, “bouquets of newly sharpened pencils”. It evokes an indescribable nostalgia in me . . . makes me want to window shop in the rain . . . hold hands and walk down brick streets . . . I don’t try to understand it . . . I’m just grateful to God for making life beautiful.

I'm with your mom.
Philip is with you.
I can't pick a favorite season. If I had to pick, I'd choose spring, or winter...or summer...or maybe fall. See, I am the most indecisive person in the whole world. I lo u.
i'm a "spring-summer" person too. (hi mom!)
but i do like the fall colors. i'm sad that most of our trees haven't turned (yet?) this year. :-(
