My favorite season...

My favorite season would have to be autumn. I'm not sure why. It makes me happy and sad. Happy because it takes me back to my childhood-the raking of leaf piles and then jumping in them, the changing of the leaves colors, the smell of the crisp, cool air, baked goodies of cinnamon and apples-like cider and homemade applesauce, football games, the start of a new school year-new school supplies and school clothes, bonfires....

Sad because it means the days will grow short and dark, winter will be coming soon. Long days inside, many days of gray...well that's what I remember as a kid...yet I loved winter too...it meant sledding all day on Saturday and afterschool and then yummy hot chocolate with marshmallows, Christmas coming soon, fires in the fireplace.

I love spring too...the fresh grass, the budding trees and flowers and plants. The days getting longer again...and summer vacation approaching. Ahhh summer...the lake, cherries and cherry pit spittin' contests...watermelon seeds too...lol, the long, warm nights-staying up all night, catching fireflies, the fireworks at the 4th of July...

Definitely, Autumn is my favorite though! :) Your's?
