Dear Fall,

Beautiful as always. May it be all you hope for.

We're coming into spring now (in south africa) and i'm saying goodbye to my tall brown boots! Enjoy them whilst I say hello to flowering wisteria, rocket and tomatoes and the smell of jasmine whilst sitting in the garden sipping a drink in the evenings!

So lovely. I love fall too. It's a great time of year.

Beautiful words :)
I'm happy to be welcoming Spring here in Australia. Loving opening up all the windows to let spring in & the last of winter out - winter seems to be clinging on though! I'm ready for time with family at the beach and river, salads, bbq's, bare feet, gardening, the scent of frangipani (and jasmine ;) )...

i just MELTED...

Fall is wonderful and so welcomed here especially after this summer! Will keep Simon in my thoughts.

May Fall bring all your wishes and dreams true:) LOVE to decorate for fall, love the nice days and crisp evenings!

Oh how I miss crisp Washington apples in the fall...North Carolina apples are mushy and gross, but luckily I found a Whole Foods that carries organic Washington apples (kind of defeats the point of shopping locally, but for apples, I will make the ultimate sacrifice, LOL.)

Love fall - love the changes that it brings, but miss summer slowly going away. Thinking of Simon as he transitions. We deal with the same thing with our boy also - Being 10 with Autism, even though high functioning always brings new adventures - most good, but some a little challenging. Saying extra prayers.

I totally loved reading these words. Here in Perth, Western Australia our days are getting warmer and feeling the warmth in the air makes me feel alive. I am sending extra prayers for Simon.

Fall is my fav season too & my OLW is possibility!

sigh...it used to be my favouite time of year...until I married an apple farmer! (winkwink) The apples here are especially good this year Ali, you should travel here some fall :o) Thanks for sharing.

Wishing for fall as well. Thinking of your family as you make new transitions in your life, especially Simon. Hopefully each new obstacle for Simon will be easily navigated by all of you.

Love your letter. Praying for Simon to "just keep swimming" and for everyone outside of your home to appreciate him just the way he is.

Is Simon in 5th now? Is that the last year before changing to middle school, so that he is still mainly in one classroom? I think those years from 5th - 8th grade are the toughest on kids in general. So many different levels of maturity, both physical and social, and so many changes going on inside of each kid No doubt it will be challenging. Simon is so lucky to have such wonderful support from you.

I love Fall! I do believe it is my favorite time of year. But like you, I always seem to enjoy each season as it changes. Even Winter (yes, even though I know it will bring snow for us...sometimes lots). LOL! Hope you & your family have a wonderful season.

I LOVE fall... I had to do my own homage to it myself LOL....

Happy Fall!

Hello fall indeed! We finally got some much needed rain here and the grass is now back to its lovely lush color instead a form of brittle straw. I hope Simon begins to adjust and that his world begins to form a pattern again that he can comprehend and assimilate.
Take care you! Enjoy Ireland! How exceptionally fun! Looking forward to your pics and posts regarding it.

I've been saying hello to FALL also, pumpkins from our garden, leaves, apple orchard and warm cider. This is my favorite season of all. Sending hugs and prayers for Simon and easier days ahead. My Sam is adjusting to 5th grade and the independence they are striving for this year. Enjoy all the possibilities for you this fall Ali, happy for you!! I love your tall brown boots.

This is so beautifully said, Ali. Fall is my favorite season too, and I am also besotted with possibilities! It is still really hot in southern California, but I know those cool breezes and gorgeous leaves are coming.
