Fall Is Here!


I love the beginning of the Fall season. The nights are cooler, the temp in mid days average to be in the low 80's, the colors of the leaves turn yellow, orange and red. It's all so exciting because I know that just right around the corner are the Holidays. Of course there's Halloween first. The costumes and decorations of orange and black fills up aisles and aisles at the mall or specialty stores. Not to mention the array of colorful wrappings of candy that says, "grab me, I'm yummy!" greeting you at the entrances of all the grocery and shopping centers. Listening to the radio, even, you hear a commercial with howls, screams and eerie blowing wind because they want you to come and experience a haunted barn, house or garage! It's just sooo much fun to listen and see the excitement. Walking around the neighborhood, I can see front doors with a hanging wreath with fall deco or there are pumpkins on the front porches. Soon the morning frost will be present on the windshields and I'll see my breath in the cool air. Perhaps for those in the Northern region of the country, they'll see thick white flakes covering the ground. Maybe on a walk in the evenings I might smell the aroma of pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon. Perhaps I can convince my nephew to get a decorated handmade turkey drawing and put it on my fridge to remind me Thanksgiving is coming. Yay! I love the Fall.
