Summer flew by and now my favourite season is here. I feel in love with fall during my college days, walking through the paths of bright orange, yellow and deep brown leaves spotted with the remains of the overnight frost. What really got me into this season was a romanticized dream of holding hands and kissing my boyfriend, as we rustled up the leaves underfoot. The briskness of fall would make our cheeks red and the welcome of warmth at the local cafe as we sat lazily all Sunday afternoon staring into each other’s eyes. I can dream.
I was so freaking shy in college the best I did was look out into the quad as couples walked by and wished some guy would sweep off my feet. I came very close when the most popular guy on campus developed a big crush on me and hounded me for weeks but my shyness won that one.
Fall brings promise the end of growth and time for nature to prepare for a long cold winter and as it should. As the days begin to dim, the nights take on a whole new look. Soon waking my boys for school will start in the dark and coming home too. But it’s also the time for Halloween, rosy cheeks and walking through the forest to take in all the foliage.
Here’s to my favourite season.
