Fall in Love all over again...

Pssssst.... can you feel it? There's something in the air – it's just a whisper now, but soon, very soon, it will shake you up and knock you over with its raucous laughter.

I always think of Fall as the feisty but reliable friend; perhaps she laughs too loud at parties, but she'll always be there in a pinch when life gets bittersweet; not like that flighty Summer, who only cares about how you look in a mini-skirt. And like any good friend, Fall will rejuvinate your heavy soul, for isn't this season all about new beginnings? Goody-two-shoes that I was, I couldn't wait for school to start, and smell all those familiar smells: old desks, pink erasers, chalk dust, rotting carpets. And all those new books that come out during this season! Just thinking about it puts me in a tizzy.

Fall is all those old clichés: cool breezes, long walks, cozy sweaters and hot tea. The first time I fell in love was in the Fall, and every year around this time my heart lurches, thinking about that wonderful and wretched time in my life, so very long ago.

Fall is my time, my season. My heart soars in anticipation of its arrival.

That's true, I never even realised. I always used to fall in love in the Fall. Thanks for warning me.

I'll miss summer but, mmm, I do love fall.

I've already bought a great new sweater, even though the air conditioner is full blast here. And I've been looking at bread recipes.

Fall is the best reading season.

I hope you're doing something with this little red-headed character... she's adorable. Is there strip in her future?

What a delightful post! My favourite season has always been summer - but I do delight in the magic and wonder of each season. I also delight in reading about the charms of the season . . .which you were able to capture so well.
I agree with Robot Johnny - the new character is adorable.
