You KNOW it's fall when...
« on: October 05, 2006, 10:16:11 AM »
You know it's fall when you go into a local grocery store/corner shop and find in the refrigerated section Apple Cider. Holy crap I love this time of year so freaking much!

I'm about to explode with appropiateness as I get over the rather hefty price of cider and down gallon after gallon of it for the next 6-9 months. That's right. Cider is so popular around here, it even last through winter, and possibly into spring.

So, add what you think makes fall fall.

It gets colder, and I like cold.

Also, it the time of year when all my comfort foods just seem to taste better--cookies, hot chocolate, stews, soups, and the like.

When the colors turn, it is really pretty around these parts. Especially when the leaves cover the ground too.

When I'm both leaving for and returning from work in the dark. Which really really sucks.

Also, when it's no longer feasible (to my consternation) to go about in shorts and sandals.

Also, when going for a walk to get a cold smoothy and walk home slurping it no longer sounds like an appealing past time

also, when I have to stop mowing and start raking the stupid yard.

also, when I start getting Seasonal Affective Disorder and become even less motivated to do my work.

thank heaven I don't live in New England.

Autumn is my favorite season, because you get the same cool, temperate weather as spring but without a summer's worth of yard work hanging over your head.

When pomegranates are in the produce section and large bags of tiny candy bars are in the seasonal section.

when any form of clouds at all begin to finally cover up some of the monotonous blue here in SB, unfortunately there will be not a drop of rain until late winter...and of course never any snow...so sad...seriously I love rain and it only happens in december and january here.

Dude! I love pomegranates! They should be fed to me through a straw if I ever turn into a vegtable, and should be eaten by everyone, every single day.
