Oh how I wish I could love fall. I wish I could embrace her crisp breeze. I wish I could welcome the lovely landscapes of colors it creates. But No, I dread fall. My reason can be spelled out in one simple word. Winter. Cold, colorless, frozen fingers and toes winter. So good bye days in the sun, running in the park, splashing around in the water hose. No more sleepy days on the porch rocking away in the breeze. Oh sweet summer how do I love thee.
Oh wait there is a silver lining to this snow cloud. It the weather is cool then my flowers are asleep and the weeds are dead and the grass won't be growing. YAHOO!!!! Hello sewing machine, hello photo albums ( I have 5 bins of loose pictures) , hello good books and hot chocolate with a big fluffy blanket. Fluffy slippers, days where I can just wear sweats. Oh yes, Fall bring it on! I will roll in your leaves and wear my favorite sweater and jeans. I can still sit on the porch with a steaming cup of coffee and a lap quilt (when I make one). The kids can still play basketball in the drive and ride there bikes. What have I to whine about, I simply buy some long underwear and a really warm hat. Thank you God for a weeding break!!!!
