A New Season

Good-bye summer. Long days of warm sunshine. Electric bills that reflect constant running of cool air pumped into the house. Grills smoking delicious meats and scrumptious home grown vegetables. Crystal blue pool water. And sunscreen with a coconut scent. Sandals. And sundresses. Margaritas and mojitos.

Hello autumn. Late sun rises. Early sunsets. Fire places to warm the home. Large pots of comfort foods boiling on a stove as homemade bread wafts from the oven. Monday night football. And Friday night football. Scent of cool crisp air. Leaves crunching on the ground. Luscious leather boots. And sweaters. Red wine and Bailey's.

Oh autumn be kind...for I am not sure I am totally ready to welcome you just yet.

I like your season descriptions. I so miss summer. I am definitely a spring-summer lover and not so fond of autumn/winter.

Lisa- I don't think I turn my nose up to autumn as much as I look to winter with a grimace on my face. I'm just not ready for closed toed shoes.
