Fall, How Do I Love Thee It’s really starting to feel like fall outside. I, for one, am so thankful that the super warm temperatures of the summer are pretty much long gone now. Fall is, hands down, my favorite season.

Let me count the ways: The Leaves That’s an obvious one, but this year the leaves seem to be extra beautiful outside. Too bad we’re not that beautiful when we die. The Smells Something about the smell of the heater coming on in the morning is pretty high on my list of favorite things about the cooler weather.

Also, campfires the crisp smell of the air in the morning can’t be beat. The Clothes I just like fall/winter ‘fashion’ better than their spring/summer counterparts. People tend to look better with nice sweaters and jeans on vs. ratty shorts and whatnot.

Sports Between the World Series, Football, Hockey and Basketball, it’s truly the best season if you’re a sports fan. Me – all I really care about is football. The Sense of Renewal I think it’s the fact that I’ve been moving to a new place every year or starting new classes each fall – but fall always gives me this feeling of a ‘fresh’ start.

I’m sure this will begin to change over time as I settle into living in one place and one job for a longer period of time, but that feeling is still there for now. The Holidays The holidays are nearing, and I love me some Thanksgiving/Christmas.
