Autumn…
I love the smell of autumn. The leaves crunching under your feet and the smell of decaying leaves. It’s just a wonderful smell. It makes me want to run. My adrenaline starts pumping when I inhale these fall smells.
When I was in school, I used to run Cross Country in the fall. The smell and sound of the leaves reminds me of the daily runs I would go on. It reminds me of the race, the hunt and the win.
I really enjoy running and I need to figure out a way to start running again. I would love to do a marathon.
People always tell me that there is a time and a season for everything. I suppose if I wanted it bad enough I could make it happen, but for right now I’m content to raise the kidlets.
I wish Autumn would last for 3 months. I wish the leaves would take their sweet time turning orange, yellow, red and purple before dropping to the ground. If I could create the seasons I’d have 3 months of spring, summer, fall and winter. I would want a huge dump of snow in the winter and a slow warm spring to melt it all so there would be no floods. I’m so sick of seeing brown grass and leafless trees for such a long time without any snow on them.
I love the seasons and I’m glad I’m able to experience all four. They are beautiful, magnificent and humbling.
