My Favorite Season and a QUESTION
Yay, you can really feel Autumn in the air these days. I've always loved Fall, despite the craziness of "Back to School" and even, in some ways, because of it. As a Autumn child, with a birthday in October, I'm sure that's one of the reasons I was conditioned from early years to look forward to this time of year, too, but the fondness with Fall has stuck with me through time.
The gorgeous scenery and the colourful leaves is one of the things I like best about Autumn. It's just a great time of year to be an amateur photographer. I always love poring over the "leaf tours" that show up in the newspaper at this time of year, showing the best driving routes for seeing Autumn leaves. John laughs at me for looking forward to "leaf trips", but that's something I can remember doing right from childhood, too.
And the weather is cool (not cold) and crisp, which I really appreciate, too.
For a teacher, Autumn is always a time for a fresh start. New students, new parents, new grade (sometimes) and the best time to try new strategies and routines in the classroom. It's really, really busy, but there's a sense of freshness to it all, too.
Thanksgiving is in early October and is a great time for a long weekend, a visit home and a chance to check out some of those Autumn leaves. And this year we'll also celebrate my parents' 50th Anniversary on that weekend, too!
Many filkcons I've attended happened in the Fall. OVFF. FilkContinental. ConChord. And at this time of year I have wonderful memories of them all.
