Clicking Our Heels – Fall is Here!
Clicking Our Heels – Fall is Here!!!
Fall is here! It should be no surprise that each member of the Gang has a different thought about Fall.
Debra H. Goldstein – Although I hate to see the leaves drop, Fall means I don’t have to worry about keeping my white pants clean.
Shari Randall/Meri Allen – Fall has the most beautiful weather, yes? I love the changing leaves and swishing through piles of fallen ones.
Kathryn Lane – The turning of the aspen in the mountains of New Mexico.
T.K. Thorne – In addition to escape from the Alabama summer heat, I love the colors, goldenrod abloom in the fields, and riding my horse in the woods. Fall was my mother’s favorite season and I try to inhale it for her.
Mary Lee Ashford – I absolutely love fall! It’s my favorite season. I love the brisk temps, the gorgeous fall colors, and all the fall activities. When I was younger fall also always meant back-to-school and unlike some kids I looked forward to returning to school. To this day, I still get excited when they start advertising school supplies. So, give me a steaming cup of cider, a thick cozy sweater, and a bonfire and I’m content. Oh, and a book, of course!
Lynn McPherson – I love the colors and the weather. Time for hot chocolate, fireplaces, and a good book.
Debra Sennefelder – Where should I start? Fall is my favorite season. Boots. Sweaters. Pumpkin everything. Halloween-themed mysteries. I could go on.
Lois Winston – The cooler temperatures, especially since I’m now living in the south. And I thought August in New Jersey was bad!
Linda Rodriguez – Fall is my favorite season. I don’t know if it’s because my birthday is in fall, or because school starts in fall, and in my childhood, school was a sanctuary and a blessed place. I love the colorful leaves, the cooler temperatures, the crisp air, the beautiful skies, and the sense of being on the cusp of something brand new and exciting that fall always brings. Fall is the traditional New Year time for the Cherokee.
Saralyn Richard – When I was teaching in the Midwest, I used to love the crisp chill in the air and the crunching of leaves underfoot, the sweet, juicy apples, and the anticipation of new relationships and experiences that come with another year back at school.
Dru Ann Love – Get to wear a coat and can use staying indoors as an excuse.
Donnell Ann Bell – Cooler weather. I live in the Southwest. Our falls are gorgeous and so are the sunsets.
Interesting… all different thoughts, but all positive for fall.
Descriptions as varied as our individual writing styles! I love the references to Fall’s weather, colors of leaves, and the sunsets in the Southwest.
I missed the last round of questions so will post my answer here. My favorite part of fall is pumpkins and chrysanthemums and clever fall porch displays.
I didn’t get the last round of questions, either, but here’s my two cents:
Autumn is a bittersweet time. Cooler days mean taking long walks with my husband, which is a quiet delight. But cooler days also bring high pollen counts, and allergy symptoms, which can keep me coughing at night.
