I get tired of summer. Sun is wonderful. Fantastic even. But after a while, I am ready for it to be over. Not the kids home from school, schedule free part. Never that....just the unrelenting heat.
I love fall. The changing from summer to winter. Leaves turning color and falling from trees. Cooler windy days. A crispness in the air, fuzzy socks, soft sweaters, sheets and towels warm from the dryer. Crunchy apples. The smell of cider. Orange pumpkins lined up in a row. Baking. The anticipation of winter.
The only thing that could make it better is if we lived somewhere fall actually occurs! It sort of happens here in CA. 60 & 70 degree weather feels cool after 100+ days on end. Santa Ana winds stir up the leaves. The neighbors Cottonwoods turn yellow before the leaves fall. I can go to the farmers market and stock up on apples and pumpkins.....
Someday this will be in my backyard, but for now I am dreaming...
