Fall

I saw this question on ilaxSTUDIO and it got me thinking. I used to swear Fall was my favorite season. For the last couple of years now, though, Fall has really beaten me up. I'm not so sure I look forward to it anymore. Here are some things I love about the season, and some of the things that I really don't care for.

Love:
1. Wearing sweaters and jeans- some of my favorite clothing
2. The smell in the air when people are using their fireplaces and fire pits
3. Roasting marshmallows with friends and families in fire pits

Don't love:
1. Whatever autoimmune disorder this is that I have kicks in to high gear
2. Holidays start to really throw routines off (at school/ work and at home)
3. The short days (I used to love this, but lately it's annoying)

So, maybe I don't love Fall as much as I thought I did. Maybe I need to find a new favorite season. Which one do you enjoy most?

I like fall for the same reasons but winter is my favorite. After Christmas. Routines set in, the cold keeps people inside together guilt-free, the weather implies coziness. Plus its beautiful outside when it snows. I guess in Arizona you probably dont have the same feelings.

I can see how winter would feel like that in places it snows. Actually, winter is a great time here in Arizona, too. We get to go outside and do things like hiking that we usually might not do in the heat. Lots of people do, but for me the winter weather is better for those activities. I think I like winter after Christmas, too, except for the nights. Then it's too cold and my body is miserable in the cold.

I love fall weather--sweaters are my favorite too, but it still isn't cold enough for them where I live. I agree about the short days--it makes it hard to get everything done, and I am ready for p.j.s too early!

I'm ready for P.J.s no matter what time of day it is, so I don't have that as an excuse! LOL
