The trees in northeast TX change color but it only last for a few weeks. I always long for the seasonal changes that come. By far my favorite holiday is Halloween, it even supersedes Christmas in my book. I still hope to one day experience a true FALL season. One day...one day...

We have just recently moved back to the east coast from Texas. Now Texas was nice in that my annuals usually made it from season to season without any issues. But I so missed the fall, having grown up in MA. I have always enjoyed the seasons and fall is my favorite. I have explained to some which have never seen how the trees put on their fall colors, that fall in New England is a full sensory experience. Your eyes take in the beautiful colors from burnt umber, orange, and yellows, your nose smells the leaves- a sweet smell unlike anything one can imagine and you can hear the crunch under foot while taking your morning walk and lastly to put them into a pile and jump in and feel fall. Yes, I do love the fall and my children now get to experience it too! My husband is in the military and we move every few years and sometimes more often.

We have a wonderful fall. The nights are starting to get crisp and chilly and I fall asleep each night to the beautiful music of crickets. I love the wind in the leaves. I love fall and spring but could do without the harsh winter and blistering summer. Halloween is fun, but a few times we had snow and most often it is cold. So you often see puffy, squishy fairies and spidermen because they have their winter coats and sweats on underneath their costumes. But nothing is more beautiful than the mountains filled with beautiful changing leaves. It is a masterpiece. Just head up North a bit to Utah. We have a wonderful fall.

I grew up in Michigan (you know, where there are seasons). I feel like I'm cheating my children out of "real" Halloween by not living in a seasonal climate. I’m right with you.

Well it happened! This last weekend the weather actually turned a bit cool! It's coming! Hooray! We made it through another summer!
