Fall....

I love the Fall season.  Many reasons, some new, some old.  I remember as a young teenager going with my mom and sister to one of home parties to 'discover' my color, you know, to know what colors you look best in.  I am a fall, dark greens, browns and oranges.  I do like to wear those colors and have always loved a green car, 3 of my 6 cars in my driving days have been green!  Ha!  That's funny!

I love the changing colors and the leaves falling.  I even love raking the leaves!  It was much more fun back home when we had trees in the yard...it's no fun in my current yard!  I guess my back can be thankful for that!

College football!!  Whoo Hoo!  I love following the Georgia Bulldogs and really all the SEC teams, but it's fun to catch glimpses of lots of games on Saturday!  I pull out the TV schedule out of the sports section and fold it so I can only see what games are on and put it on the end table.  I actually very rarely spend a WHOLE Saturday watching football, but usually at least watch one and the TV usually stays on a football game most of the day and night!  If I can, I send the kids upstairs to watch their stuff in our bedroom.

Growing up in the south, one of my favorite things about fall was the relief from the hot humid summers!  Also, getting to wear a light weight jacket on my walk to school and wearing jeans (or now, I like to wear shorts with long sleeves) and playing in the leaves.

While I still love Fall here in Colorado, I do wish the season was longer.  We could have snow as early as September some years.  I remember last year a huge storm that came through the last week of October that cancelled school for 3 days!  I'd love for fall to last through Thanksgiving!

I love having the windows open and feeling the crisp air.

Fall break starts this afternoon when school lets out.  What kid doesn't love that feeling when the bell rings and you know you don't have to come back for a week and in some cases longer!  I'm feeling some of that right now!  The alarm is in the off position and will be taking a break.

May this Fall last and last....please!
