Finally last night, the sun started to come out. Today we have been back to warm & humid weather. Ugh. I hate humid. It's sticky, it makes you feel gross, and my hair hates it even more than me. Up until last night, this week had been unseasonably cool, grey skies, rainy. Your typical Fall days.
It was pretty depressing the first day, but then I started to like it. Maybe it was because the work week started. The weather made me want to stay home, sleep in, cuddle with my dog (affectionately called Mr. Boogie) and just goof off. I also found myself yearning to knit. I tend to go whole hog on hobbies. I'll become obsessed with one for a while until I realize I've neglected and fallen behind on others, then I move on to the next. The weather came my Fall mood and hence the knitting began. I was trying to take a picture of my completed projects, but alas the light was horrible, so photos will have to wait till tomorrow when I can take a nice daylight photo.
Fall is probably my favorite season, although I do have a hard time picking one. But if I was forced, I think it would be Fall. I love the cooler weather, I love the leaves, I love anticipation of the holidays, I love the smells, the colors, I love the clothes ... I could go on. I used to love going back to school, the new clothes, the supplies, a new bookbag. I still do. For some reason the year begins in September, not January. As a kid I loved it and now as a step-parent, I know why parents always loved September too.
Now don't get me wrong. I love the snow too, the crispness, the cold, the beauty of a big snowstorm. I grew up skiing since I was a toddler and like any kid that grew up in true Upstate NY (east of Rochester) I could play in the snow for hours until my whole body was frozen. And of course Mom would always have hot chocolate waiting. I would come in, strip down and stand over the heating vent in the kitchen floor, warming up with my cup of hot chocolate - mini-marshmallows included of course.
And then there's Spring, just as you're growing tired of the brown, slushy goop that Winter becomes, the weather warms up, it stays lighter longer, and motivation slowly goes out the window. And Spring is the perfect temperature - not too warm yet. Too bad it's hell on us allergy sufferers. But it's still a good season. Summer - ehh. Probably my least favorite as I'm not a fan of the heat. But it is good for vacations, lazy afternoons, fruit, ice tea, and fireworks. I love fireworks!
But I'll still come back to Fall. Guess it's a good thing I found a husband who loves the Northeast as much as I do. I don't think I could live without my four seasons. And even though the humidity is back and it's supposed to be in the 90s this weekend, I think I might check out the fall clothes. A girl has got to be prepared.
