This is my absolute favorite time of the year!! The weather is perfect. I just love being able to open up all the windows and let the fresh air flow through the house. It's just so relaxing! All Summer and all Winter are spent closed up inside because of the heat or the cold. You can't have the windows open when it's 100 degrees or 30 degrees outside. Spring is nice, but usually rainy and yucky outside. But Autumn is the best! It is usually the time of year when I am the least depressed.
There are just so many fun things to do in the Fall. Like going apple picking and going to the pumpkin patch. Dressing up for Halloween and getting all kinds of candy (thank goodness I have kids to do that for me). I love going to the pumpkin show every year. Harvest festivals at different churches, hay rides, bonfires. Not to mention the colorful trees. I love it!
Autumn, the best season of them all, seems to go by the quickest. Is it because it's such a great time and I'm having so much fun that it just seems to slip by? Or could it be that usually October is about all the Fall we get? Usually, here in good ole' Ohio, it stays pretty warm through to the end of September. This year, so far has been a nice change, we're acutally experiencing some not so hot weather here right now. Then by November, it starts getting really cold out.
And that is when my depression usually kicks in full force! I'm pretty sure I suffer from SAD. It's dark when I get up in the mornings and dark again by 6:00 p.m. It just feels like the days pass by so fast. I hate it when it's all snowy and slushy and slippery on the roads. Trying to lug kids and groceries and whatever else through snow and ice is never fun.
If it were up to me, we would have October weather from September 1st through December 23rd. Then we could have a nice white christmas and it could be cold through the rest of the year. Just no more snow!
Oh well, at least I just got my Effexor dosage upped! Maybe it'll be fully kicked in by the time stupid winter comes!

That is so funny...I tell my hubby the same thing all the time. I LOVE the fall as well. My hubby likes spring/summer. He thinks this weather is too chilly. NO WAY...it's perfect! I love opening the windows, and pumpkin picking, and trick or treating with the kiddos!
Are you dressing up this year???

I cannot wait until if cools down here (in Cali). It's 90 here today, which is cooler than it has been, but not Fall weather! I can't wait to go to the pumpkin patch!
I love the fall as well! The weather is fantastic and I love seeing the leaves change colors! Halloween is my fav holiday and I already have a few trick-or-treat outfit choices for your coming nephew.
Aw, I can't wait to see what you dress the boys up as this year. Heck, I can't wait to see my new nephew!
