I love the fall.  It really is my favorite season, and not just  because my birthday happens to be in September; which in the North actually feels like fall . . it seems to take a little longer to arrive in the South. 

This evening I stood in my school parking lot for a good 10 minutes just watching the flocks of birds flying south for the winter.  There was a nice breeze, the air was crisp, and I wished I had my camera with me as my cell phone just couldn't get a good picture.  But living in Hawai'i, and in the southern-most states for the last 10 years (mostly), there are just somethings I have been missing: birds flying south for the winter, mosquito being killed off by the cold, seeing frost looking all sparkly as the sun comes up, having a reason to wear my hoodies (which, lets admit, I have a serious obsession with), and  ajctually enjoying the heat of the sun when you step out of the shadows.  Plus, two of my favorite holidays are just around the corner.  But the best part is seeing my boys absolutely thrilled to be experiencing something (seasons) that they have only heard about in school!
