I Love Leaf

Even feeling as terrible as I have been this past month, I can’t help but be grateful for the arrival of my favorite season. The crisp, cool air. The ripening apples on my apple tree. The chrysanthemums. The changing foliage. The promise of caramel apples, cozy sweaters, and hot chocolate. That back-to-school feeling. Sparkling, lovely autumn. It makes me want to bake a pecan pie. It makes me want to throw a party. It makes me want to read books in the park, greeting passersby in my sauciest British accent. And though none of this is likely in my current state of physical discomfort, you know where to find me next fall. Good day Gov’na!

  2. Fall is my favorite season too.

    My favorite holiday is Halloween and I like death…

    … of the leaves on the trees, when they turn flaming orange, red, and yellow.

    ‘Tis Sublime.

  3. “My favorite holiday is Halloween and I like DEATH?!?” I can’t believe I sleep next to you every night… unconscious… totally vulnerable.

    And the death of the leaves on the trees is actually just hormones being released by the trees. …Kind of like hormones making Diana puke.

  5. Just hearing the above comments makes me feel like I know these people! How intriguing!
    Yes Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. It’s possible that it has to do with meeting my hubby in the fall, and birthing my three adorable children all in october. I love this “crispy” time of year. And I am sorry about your vomitie-ness. . .go outside and take a deep breath and inhale some of the crispy, dead leaf, fallen to the ground apparently from overdose of hormones, . .fall smell!

  7. You’re lucky you’re already feeling the effects of fall…it’s still summer here. It’s so dang hot. Milk was a bad choice.

    My word verification is okdogp. I couldn’t not share that.
