I Miss Fall

There are a few things I like about Winter. I like cuddling up in the covers all warm and toasty inside knowing that it's cold outside. I like the way people's faces look like angel's faces when they're cold. And, I like having a reason to huddle up close with people.

Mostly, however, I miss Fall. I miss the beautiful drives. I miss the colorful leaves. I miss decent weather. I miss leaves crunching under my feet. I'm basically waiting out the Winter so that I can enjoy Spring-Fall and then wait out another Winter.

Because I'm good at sharing, here's a video of a drive home on a fabulously October kind of day. If you wait it out, you get to see some really cool kids. But seriously, it's still boring.

I'm not too excited about winter.. I've been living in this climate for too long: summer is 2,5 months short and winter about 6 months.. And there's only about one week of nice autumn, rest is shit.

Nice vid, scenery is interesting and nice. Maybe because it's different to me?

Oh my God! I love your voice! My sister-in-law is from down south and I love her accent. I love your voice!

OK.. I'm calm now. the kids were AH DOOR UH BULL. Adorable. I love the little one that ran to you. And the description of the accident. Sound effects and all.

You listen to a great oldies station. It was fun to hear Jimmy Buffet crooning along. Great trees, gorgeous day. Loved the drive. Really did.

dob- one week of autumn? that sucks ass.

monkey- thanks ;). i guess my accent is thicker than i usually realize. it's not as bad as a lot of people around because i've been in school so long around people from all over, but the minute i step onto my family's yard the accent automatically gets much stronger. the kids are my little sister and two nephews. they are quite fabulous and love the camera. the oldies station was one of those local jems with the awkward dj that nobody listens to. those are usually the best.

calzone- i miss me too. where the hell did i go?

bill- thanks, but i think i'll hang with you guys instead. jesus said i could.

chg- you're weird. well, pleasantly odd.

Yup, that's about it. The beautiful part lasted this year about a week, maybe 9 days? Sucks. Last summer was rainy and on top of that I didn't get to travel. Hmm.. After all this I wonder how I got presents in christmas?
