What Do You Love About Fall!
 
I just love fall! It's cool here today and the leaves are turning red and I love it! I love pumpkins and Halloween and high school football games and taking my baby for walks outside and planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas..

How about you? What do you like????!!!

The1calledTKE 10-10-2001 01:33 PM

I like fall because its cooler outside, new tv shows and the holidays are coming soon.

damasa 10-10-2001 01:55 PM

for some reason I feel at peace during the fall....watching the leaves fall, checking out the different colors...noticing it's getting colder out..i love it

I love cold mornings, when you can stay in bed, warm under the covers, and HOPEFULLY snuggling with a cute boy. And I love football season, and all of the holidays, because it means I get to see my family more! I LOVE Fall!

bucutie02 10-10-2001 02:28 PM

Well since i live in Houston, it doesnt start getting cold until about Thanksgiving, if we're lucky- but i do look foward to it not being AS hot. I like when people start putting pumpkins out on the yard and decorating for halloween. I think that once halloween comes, the fun begins because then its thanksgiving, christmas, and new years!! :) Cool fall walks are really nice too!

SigkapAlumWSU 10-10-2001 02:38 PM

I like when the weather starts getting cooler (or in Pullman's case... some wind chill mixed with falling leaves) and you can sit in bed with hot chocolate and a book and snuggle in big, warm, cuddly blankets.

Wow, what don't I love about fall? It is my favorite time of year!

I love that the weather is cool and crisp and beautiful, and that I have survived summer's horrible heat and humidity for another year.

I love football games, pumpkins, apples, having hair that looks decent (no more humidity!), the beautiful leaves, driving with the windows open and SWEATERS!!!

I love going for walks in the cool evening, wearing a sweatshirt and smelling a fire burning somewhere and seeing the glowing warm lights from the houses and feeling the crunch of leaves underfoot, and then getting home and having a cup of hot apple spice tea.

I love back-to-school shopping for clothes; even though I don't go back-to-school any more, I still do the clothes shopping! :)

There is just something in the air every fall that feels crisp and hopeful. I love it.

Fall is God's present to us for having been good all through the past two seasons. What can one not absolutely adore about fall? It truly is the perfect season. Leaves changing, the scent of burning leaves in many places, brisk mornings, camping, fireplaces blazing, (soccer in full swing ;) ), thick sweaters, candy corn, snap wool or fleece blankets, wool socks, scarfs. Fall is the season of romance, and their always seems to be a generally more pleasant aire to people during the fall, a happiness that isn't always there. In Kentucky, one feels the effect of every season very strongly. My memories from the fall in my youth are ever-present, making fortreses out of fallen leaves, building treehouses while vacant of leaves so that when they came back, the house was done and was then perfect, doing school projects pasting colored leaves to cardboard, looking out of the windows of my little private grade school at the huge tree near-by changing like a chameleon with the trees in its background. Fall practically forces me to sit under trees on campus and read, to go on pics-nics, long, long bike rides. My life is honestly 100% different in the Fall than it is at any other time, it's 200% better. The Fall Season is a miracle, and whom cannot do anything but love a miracle?

KABillyMac 10-10-2001 03:13 PM

Uh
 
EX card, as a fellow Kentuckian I would just like to say that is the gayest thing I have ever read in my life.

Fall= Football, Hunting, Bourbon. Everything else is just details till its time to start fishing and playing golf again.

SigmaChiCard 10-10-2001 03:21 PM

okay buddy, you're cool.

KABillyMac 10-10-2001 03:31 PM

You had to edit that three times to get something good together. I will leave the U of L jokes out of it, I'm sure you hear enough of em already, since anyone that lives south of Louisville is a redneck (not red-neck) with obviously inferior intelligence.

No disrespect meant. Never seen anyone reach inside their soul for a storybook description of fall, if they werent actually writing a book, or at least the inside cover to one anyway. Obviously your very in touch with your feelings towards fall. Dont get too defensive, just go with it.

KSig RC 10-10-2001 03:34 PM

I love fall - I love sitting around, looking at the changing colors and seeing the sky swept with beautiful images of nature's cyclical life turning yet another bend. I am enamoured with the absolute glory of God and his ways, and feel that the cool in the air brings my body and soul a new level of efficiency. Is there truly anything more glorious than sitting on a breeze-swept hill, basking in the last warmth of summer and viewing the natural images that inspired the likes of Thoreau and others?

Oh yeah, and I'm drunk. That's the best part.

KABillyMac 10-10-2001 03:45 PM

Ah yes. This post, the briskness of the fall air nipping at my little nose, and the lighthearted thoughts of leaves gracefully falling from the trees like little angels coming to rest on the ground has caused me to want to stoke up the fire and get plowed on corn whiskey. Lovely. Just lovely.

Lil_G 10-10-2001 03:53 PM

Fall is definitely the best time of year: walking to and from work in the freezing rain, waking up in the morning to the frost on my windows and coming home at night to brisks winds which plummet the temperaturs way below zero. Fall is the season of anticipation: waiting for winter and waiting for exams. It's the season of road work, the season of rodent overpopulation, and raccons chewing up ppl's garbage.....
wait, what was this about again...?

greeklawgirl 10-10-2001 07:10 PM

Ahhh, the joys of sitting in front of a crackling fire, toasting marshmallows and sipping hot chocolate, wearing my flannel jammies...wrapped in a down comforter and the arms of my husband. It just doesn't get any better than that!

I love fall! (Even if the leaves don't change colors in Southern California!) :D

IowaHawkeye 10-10-2001 07:13 PM

i love going apple picking with my mom and having her make me homemade apple pie :D

The1calledTKE 10-10-2001 07:25 PM

I feel like I am in English 101 all over again.

aephi alum 10-10-2001 07:39 PM

I don't know... I always liked spring, myself. :) But my second favorite season is fall... nice temperate weather after the hot muggy summer, and the beautiful leaves :)

prospectiverushee 10-10-2001 09:32 PM

What I love about fall

-that in November it will be the start of college basketball season

-that the days of enduring a 100 degree North Dallas summer is all behind me

-lazy weekends were I get to lay around the apartment and do nothing

Optimist Prime 10-10-2001 10:30 PM

the smell of fall. Girls in cheerleading uniforms. The smell of girls in cheerleading uniforms? ;)

XO_Princess 10-10-2001 11:45 PM

the best things about fall are(in no particular order):

-college football
-pumpkin pie!! yes!! i am truly excited!
-getting to wear long sleeve and winter/fall clothes

Bucutie-do you go to UH? I live in Galveston:mad: and I go to UTMB...man I hate Galveston...

justamom 10-11-2001 08:24 AM

everything mentioned...maybe not the SMELL of cheerleaders (LOL) is exactly why I love the fall. A cold rainy day with a fire and a great book...Making chili, chicken and BISQUICK dumplings, home made soups...the fragrance of pine...
In college, I loved the rec football games they played on Sundays.

bucutie,Nov. was my favorite month in Houston, the sky always seemed so crystal blue.

P.S.- a great Fall movie... Step-Mom with Susan Surandon and Julia Roberts (on this Friday night)- THE BEST FALL WARDROBE is worn by Julia!

Thrillhouse 10-11-2001 12:39 PM

DeltaBetaBaby 10-11-2001 04:06 PM

FOOTBALL
 
Big Ten Football. That's all there is to it. How can you argue with an 8am tailgate?

SigmaChiCard 10-11-2001 04:31 PM

Where there's SkyLine Chili, there's chili year-round...ummm

Especially not against the Broncos. ;)

moe.ron 10-11-2001 07:50 PM

Get to see the New York Rangers and repeat what I've been telling for myself for the last four years, "there is always next year."

Get to finally see my Giants get out of the Ray era of loosing and finally have the distinction as the team that get no respect.

Get to see the Knicks fall a apart again and wonder if indeed those that own the Rangers and the knicks are on crack.

Last but not least, couting the days when I get to go to Korea and watch World Cup Soccer (GO GERMANY, If they make it through the playoff)

Siobhan 10-11-2001 10:24 PM

What do I love about autumn...
 
...the hockey season has arrived - Go Canucks!!!:D

Yes i do go to UH, transferred there from Baylor. :)

newbie 10-15-2001 12:31 AM

Fall is great b/c it's the time for Scorpios and of course my birthday!! I like wearing coats and boots, too - love the fall style, but thankfully it doesn't get too cold here out in good ol' Cali ;)! So October is mostly still considered a summer month here in Cali, but that's good since my favorite time of year is definitely summer.

But, back to fall...fall is right before Christmas, my next-fav time of yr!

AGDLynn 10-15-2001 05:53 PM

Squirrels!
 
Squirrels and acorns are in the gift stores, grocery stores, etc!

Oh and football, baseball playoffs (unless the Braves get eliminated) and my birthday..;) :D

DGPhoney 10-15-2001 10:02 PM

What I love about Fall.....
hmmm catching the leaves fall at just the right time, walking by and you cansee one literally fall off a tree and slowly hit the ground.
The World Series The Yanks Vs _____ (fill in the Blank)
The Start of the school year
The good fall sales

The good fall clothes , where they are warm but your not all bundled up like winter yet
Homecoming
College Football

carnation 10-10-2002 04:39 PM

It's fall again so I'm reviving this thread! I just had my first biiig piece of pumpkin pie and I'm looking forward to it all again...more football, seeing 2 of our daughters perform at their college game, bonfires....I can't wait! How about you?

SuperSister 10-10-2002 04:44 PM

Summer is my favorite season but Fall is definitely my second favorite. I love my comfy, warm, snuggle fall clothes. I love the changing leaves. I love not sweating my @ss off just to walk across campus, but most of all I love ALF (or homecoming week for those of you who go to good schools).

sororitygirl2 10-10-2002 04:56 PM

I love autumn... it is beautiful when the leaves change and I love to wear cute, cozy sweaters and jeans! Also, I love when it is time to get my autumn lowlights in my hair!

I hate when it gets to be late fall and is freezing though!

Hootie 10-10-2002 05:31 PM

I absolutely LOVE Fall! It's my most favorite time of the year.
Perhaps it's the onset of a new school year that always starts it off, but ultimately it's just the weather.

I enjoy the cool air, sleeping with the window open at night and cuddling underneath my comforter for warmth...

I enjoy seeing the leaves change colors and how they smell.
I LOVE the smell of pumpkins, hot apple cider, picking apples, decorating my home for fall...etc

Football....Halloween, Thanksgiving....Shorter days....
You name it and I love it. I am truly blessed to live in a part of the country where we actually GET all four seasons. It's just so fun!
