Fall
I love the coolness that comes with the evening hours.
I love the rich colors of gold, red and orange as the leaves say good-bye to summer and begin to fall from the branches.
I love to take long walks and kick my way through the fallen leaves – my husband tells me I’m worse than a kid. “I don’t care,” I tell him.
I love the sound of the crunch the dried leaves make when they’re subjected to the bottom of my shoes.
I love that the long hot days of summer are quickly fading into memory.
I love that fall is the start of soup season and candle flames.
I love that fall tells me it’s time to find my favorite old cardigan sweater – one of my treasures.
I love the smell of chimney smoke swirling into the crispy night air.
I love that fall allows me to be outside without sneezing for several months to come.
I love that October is right around the corner and with it comes the start of the holiday season, hot chocolate and molasses cookies.

I love this Patti, it actually made me feel homesick for autumn in the UK, which is closing in fast. Autumn is my favourite season and now I’m sat here in my Thai apartment with the air con on imagining how London will look in a few weeks time when autumn really kicks in.

Very different weather, I’m sure! But your apartment looks really nice and probably it’s a nice change of pace from sleeping on mats in the jungle!
I loved this Patti! Especially with the picture 🙂

Thanks Mike! I am full of anticipation for the coming change of seasons and what comes with them!
Beautiful golden leaves, the perfect color for fall.
I can’t wait to see the trees around here turn color.

The fall colors here in southern Oregon are spectacular! We had an early summer and it looks as if we’re heading in to an early fall too because so many trees are already turning. Thanks for reading, Marcia!
The tree lined walk is so graceful and golden. You captured it beautifully.

Thank you Neva!
I have trouble getting my head around Fall in September. I’m not ready to let go of summer yet. But, come October, when the leaves here in the Mid-Atlantic states start to be as beautiful as the ones on the trees in your post, and when I have to put on a jacket to walk the dog, then I’m happy for it to be another autumn. We’re hoping for no hurricanes this October. Sandy in October 2012 was enough.

I have no problem letting go of summer because I don’t embrace the heat and in southern Oregon we can get up over 100 degrees, but no humidity so that’s a good thing. And summer is our busiest time at the inn so I equate summer with work. I’ll join in your hopes for no hurricanes! Thanks for reading!
Fall is my favorite time of year. I can’t wait to sleep beneath an open window this evening~

Your Oregon fall is spectacular in my memory of time spent working at Oregon Caves when the diversity of the Siskyou forest turns multiple colors. The only thing I don’t like about fall, is winter’s cold coming. So I head to South Africa for their summer. Thanks for the memories.

Wow! That’s quite a summer destination!
Beautiful words and photo. I like fall, too, even though it’s so different here in California than where I’m from in the midwest. Where I live now in the SF Bay Area September and October actually bring some wonderful warm weather, but there’s still something different in the air making it seem different than summer.

Thanks Cathy – the photo was taken in Lithia Park which is a 93-acre park here in Ashland. The colors of the Rogue Valley are just amazing in the fall.
Loved this reflective piece – very atmospheric. Hot chocolate, molasses and cookies … mmm sounds good to me. What a stunning photo! Fall looks as if it is absolutely gorgeous in your part of the world.

Thanks Noel – no idea about the tree but it grows here in Ashland, southern Oregon. They’re everywhere and so pretty in the fall.
