Fall is Here! Also: Fall is Here?

It is the middle of September.  The colors are starting to change on the trees.  Football started.  School started.  It's a great time.  Winter will always be my favorite season of the year.  I have always loved the snow and nothing will ever change that.  Spring use to be my second favorite season mainly because that meant baseball was starting soon.  Yeah, it has nothing to do with the weather.  This fall has made me remember that this season is pretty awesome too.  Sometimes.

We are having such a strange fall so far.  As September starts, one usually thinks of cooler temperatures.  And we have had that.  It's been getting down into the forties and fifties at night and it has been GLORIOUS!  One thing I don't like about summer is not being able to sleep because it is too hot.  Granted it happened for just a week or two this year, but still it was horrible.  Plus, with the fall temperatures falling, you don't have to run the air conditioner, so you aren't spending money.  So this week has been awesome, but last week was hot.  We ran the air conditioner non-stop for about three days.  

So we've had up and down weather this month and it just seems wrong.  Once you resign yourself to the fact that it's going to be hot, you can move forward.  Then all of a sudden, it's in the fifties and you are digging out your jeans and sweatshirts.  Once the weather makes up it's mind, everyone can go about their business.  Right now, you have happy people and mad people because of the weather.  The people that want to cling onto the summer are starting to get mad because they are losing their season.  The people that want to move into the fall are starting to get mad because their season keeps going on week long sabbaticals.  Then you have the people that just don't care.  The people that are indifferent to the weather world.  Personally, I fall into the category of wanting the fall to come.  Being someone who loves the winter, cooler temperatures make me happier.  Being hot and sweaty isn't my thing.  I would rather bundle up with a wool coat and hat than sweat in a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. 

Also, the fall means that it's beard growing out season.  So that's exciting!
