For Chicago anyways, the leaves have not only changed, but have fallen to the ground. All the brightly colored leaves scattering in the wind. Although I love the warmer months, I do love all the seasons. I think Fall is my favorite though, ever since I was a kid. Favorite childhood memory, raking the leaves up in the yard with my brothers and my Dad. Of course, being the youngest, I just HAD to do what my brothers did, even though it resulted in chores. Summer time I would cut the grass, Fall..rake the leaves up. The most fun though, flinging the leaves at my brothers which resulted in a leaf fight. Chasing each other and throwing leaves. Of course, then we would get yelled at by Dad for making a mess and to quit horsing around. We would always burst out in laughter and clean up. The end result, we would dump the leaves in the wooded part of the backyard. I remember making a leaf fort every year and would spend hours playing in it, sometimes falling asleep in a giant pile of leaves. So, this time of year, I sometimes get caught up in child hood memories. Most of the time, end up goofing off with friends and their kids.
Fall as an adult: going to/having bonfires, watching the leaves change and fall, playing the role as Auntie Mo while chasing the kids all over the yard, prepare for a cold winter's sleep (firewood, snow blower maintenance, unpack winter clothes), watch football, get the last bike rides in before its too cold, snuggle up with the dog, kids, and friends. Yes, am working on finding a good snuggle buddy.
Last night was a reminder that Fall is almost over and Winter will soon be upon us. Then I will be singing...Oh the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Of course, one of the best things about the holidays is watching all the movies and shows that are still playing from when I was a kid. Yes, I am a kid at heart, truly one thing that will never change.
For those who are in warm weather right now, roll out the sleeping bag, I may need it come January just to thaw out for a few days!
Wishing you and yours a most terrific and happy week! Will be wrapping up Tour DaVita 2008 blogs this week with one long and final note.
