I have a slight confession to make. Deep breath... I don't really like fall. EEEPS! I'm not a fan of the days getting darker and cooler. I don't like having to layer on more clothing or waking up to it being dark outside. However, almost everything that I've been seeing over the last few weeks (I say 'almost' because I have been enjoying a virtual spring arrival for the Aussies) has been fall fashion, fall foods and drinks and fall decor. And I've started buying into the hype. I realized, yes I do like wearing boots again, I like eating hearty comfort food and I enjoy watching football. My favourite holiday, Thanksgiving, is in the fall and fall in Texas is really more like a second summer. And as I'm so convinced by all your fall entries, whenever I walk outside these days, I half expect to feel a brisk breeze and a slight nip in the air. I'm almost even disappointed that I don't.
Another thing I've realized was that blogging and reading others' blogs has really given me a new perspective on so many things. All of the various bloggers I've met and read have allowed me to see things, like the seasons, in a different light - whether through a camera lens, artistic interpretation or simply via his/her voice. It is something that I never expected when I got into blogging and has been one of the most pleasant parts of this experience. So cheers to y'all and thank you.
Oh yes, I hate fall, too. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving AND my birthday is in the fall, but the dark days are no competition.
ReplyDeleteI love autumn! It is my favorite holiday. I think it's because the weather isn't too hot or cold, and as opposed to spring, my allergies are at rest. And my birthday is next week...yeah, that's it!
ReplyDeletehehe, it's okay to hate fall. I definitely don't like rain or when it gets dark early so I understand. Although, I'm sure Texas is appreciating a little rainfall right now. :) I like your paragraph at the end too where you talk about how different blogs have helped you see different things. Nice post

Thanks so much for stoppin by too
Haha it's okay to hate Fall, I agree :) I HATE rain and I hate how it gets dark early, but I like Fall fashion and layering :)
ReplyDeleteI like fall now... but give me a few weeks and I will be over it. I like wearing my boots and I love being able to put on a nice sweater but I do not like it when it starts to get toooo cold. AND I HATE when it gets dark. I live in sweden... the sun comes up at 9am and sets at 3 in the winter. AND THAT is just depressing! hope you are having a good start to the week. xx
ReplyDeleteFall's not my favorite either. I'd much rather the warm weather and longer days! But, I do have to admit to liking tall brown boots. And being cozy on the couch isn't so bad either!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about blogging :)
ReplyDeleteI adore autumn (or fall), so I'd happily trade with you if you'd like.
I do so love autumn ... sigh.
ReplyDeleteAnd blogging ... for the things I've learned, the people "met." Like you, it's taken me a bit by surprise. But I kinda love that, too!
