You Autumn know, I LOVE FALL!

September 7, 2012 by Susan Shay 8 Comments

I love fall! I really do.

Is there a season that’s any nicer?

Fall colors, fall clothes, fall leaves. No, not fallen leaves. AUTUMN leaves.

When we had the dress shop, going to market for the fall season each year was my absolute favorite buying trip. Wearing those clothes a few months later was great, too. (Sweaters and jackets ~~hide~~ cover a multitude of sins.)

I like to take long drives (or even whole vacations) just to look at the beauty God has put on display for us.

The colors, holidays (who doesn’t love Halloween and Thanksgiving?) yummy food–I love soups, stews and chili!– pumpkins, cooler temperatures. What’s not to love?

And I love fall because some of my favorite people were born in the fall. 🙂

Matt and me when he was two.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that fall weather will hurry up and get here!

For as long as I can remember, I've loved two things--reading and people--and that led me to become a writer. Many of my stories are set in Small Town Worlds. I'm a wife, mother, sibling and an aunt. I have a deep faith in God, and an exciting life in Christ. Maybe I shouldn't be (after all, he's God!) but I'm constantly amazed at the things He's up to. :)

My favorite time as well….I can hardly wait for the smells, colors and feel of fall. I love your pics of fall trees and family.

  You were there when I took most of those pictures, Carollea! I like walking in the fall, too. Makes me happy not to sweat just walking out the door. Oy!

Without a doubt, FALL IS THE GREATEST season!! It’s when I quit hibernating and come out to prowl. Thanks for your writing.

    You are too kind, but I’m on the prowl today cause it’s ONLY SIXTY-TWO DEGREES right now. 🙂
