Dear Fall,

Dear Fall,

I'm so excited to see you again.

I love the transition between seasons. What I think I'm really in love with is possibility.

Each season presents a new possibility; a new chance for something wonderful, magical, for growth and understanding.

I want to bottle it all up.

I've been saying hello to football and crisp apples (nothing compares) and pumpkins and parties and cooking (I come to love it again every fall) and travel (international travel tends to happen for me in the fall) and tall brown boots.

Be gentle on us, dear Fall, most especially Simon, as he re-adjusts to school and expectations and maneuvers through this world that doesn't always make sense.

Love, Ali

    I think I have just discovered my one little word for next year, 'possibilities'.

    I love fall as well, it is my favorite season of the year. Here in the midwest fall is short-lived so we have to cherish each and every day. Our daytime temps are hovering around 72 degrees - perfect weather!

    Savor the moment.

    I love Fall but I love Summer more. We are having unusal 80 degree plus weather so it does not feel like Fall is just around the corner here in Puget Sound. Oh yah, 50 some days since any measurable rainfall.
