I love fall.
It is my favorite season; Summer is still trying to hang on however I see that the mornings are starting to get both shorter & cooler.
I long for the mornings when I can turn off my air conditioner and, maybe, even turn on my heater. I live in the South, so my buddy and I don’t get a real winter, but it can get a bit freezing at times… My Grandmother lives in the North. I remember, as a kid, going up to visit her almost every Thanksgiving. She has this big seasoned fireplace that was constantly on & heating the household during the fall & winter. The smell of wood burning will constantly remind me of the holidays. I just wish it got freezing enough in the South to justify getting a real fireplace. And, not only getting the fireplace but using it too. I have one of those fake, plastic fireplaces. It is really just a space heating system with lights that sort of look like flames. My household doesn’t even get freezing enough for central heating. It has been a lot of years since I have gone up to Grandma’s household for Thanksgiving. Since my buddy and I have grown up, my buddy and I haven’t taken any family trips up North for a long time, and despite what the rest of the family does, I think I will visit Grandma this fall or winter, however grandma will be glad because she gets to see me. I will be glad because I get to kneel in front of her fireplace. Of course, I want to visit Grandma too.
