8 things I hate about Fall.

Okay.... Hate is too strong of a word.

Laila  is funny.... we were discussing my love of tomatoes and she said.... "I hate them... well I don't hate them, I just dislike them with a highly fierce expression."   That's kind of how I feel about the change in the seasons.  I get so sad when Summer and summer type weather comes to an end.  I try to stay on the sunny side of life, but there are some things about Fall I just don't like.

I don't like having to wear shoes...and socks.  I love naked feet and sandals and a way to show off my brightly painted toes.

I don't like having to bundle up.  I could live in capris and a short sleeved top my whole life.

I don't like not seeing relatives/family as often.  We get together a bunch in the summer then really not again til Thanksgiving/Christmas time.

I don't like seeing my neighbor's houses.  Leaves start falling off the trees and I remember once again that I live really close to my neighbors.  What's up with that?  They can see into my windows once again, and I can see in theirs.

I don't like having it get dark earlier and earlier.  I like having a Sunset at 8:30.

I don't like getting back into school and structure.  I like freewheeling it through my days.  If I want to paint, I paint. If I want to read, I read.  If I want to sleep...well you get the picture of what my Summer looks like.

I don't like the brisk air.  I want to walk outside and say ..."Now that's hot."    (Why I like St. George so much.)

I don't like being the bed time enforcer....or the we have to be up and moving by 7am  gal.


I do like  sweaters, pumpkins, apples and Halloween.

I do like Football games, being in school and new school supplies.

I do like  colored leaves, boots and fresh baked pie.

I do like that we have the routine of scripture reading and family night again..... ( If the second coming happens during the Summer we are in big trouble.)



Okay....maybe I don't dislike Fall with a highly fierce expression...but I just really, really love Summer more!!!
