Aching for Autumn
I'm ready for a change of seasons, a change of scenery, a change in temperature and temperament.
I'm ready for a change of wardrobe. Have you seen the Fall fashions? A dizzying and delicious variety of shapes and textures, but all of them grey, black, and more grey. I've haven't been this excited about Fall clothes in a long time, and I'm always excited about Fall clothes.
I can't wait for the cool air that blows through my window at night to blow out the hot air of summer, bringing with it sweater weather and the need for a fun scarf or hat. A knitting friend of mine and I were discussing what to do with all of the random bits of yarn left over from old projects and I proposed knitting a scarf with a stripe or section made from each bit of old yarn. It would be a riot of color and texture and would look great against that Robert Rodriguez black patent leather pea coat.
I always feel energized come September - I think it goes back to school days and being so excited about the start of a new school year - but I also think it has to do with some sort of cosmic shift that occurs this time of year. I can't describe it exactly but everything just looks and feels different. I'm ready for different.

Me too:) I love the first taste of damp on the morning and evening air, the whisper of the leaves falling to the ground. The smell of wood fires, the chance to snuggle up in warm jumpers:)) The promise of rebirth.
I am ready for different also:)

I am right there with you. I have been begging for fall to arrive for the past two weeks. I can't stand the heat anymore. :-) Blessings

Autumn and Spring are my favorite seasons. Not too hot or too cold. The funny thing is that here in South Dakota, this has been a very cool August. Temperatures were in the 60s and 70s quite often, when they are normally in the 90s or 100s.
Makes me wonder what the "real" Autumn will bring as it advances...
