Well, the fall season is in full swing now here in Wyoming and it's beautiful!! I've seen some photos of my native Wisconsin recently, too, and that seems to be in it's peak right now, as well. We had our first frost last week (I had to scrape my car windows off before heading out to work!) and that's just another sign that the season is changing.
Fall is my absolute favorite season. It's fresh, invigorating, cool and absolutely beautiful. It is definitely a season of change!! Don't get me wrong, I like all of the seasons, but fall is my favorite. It's the season that really gets me to thinking about my life and it definitely becomes a season to reflect. To me, winter is about hunkering down and enjoying warmth and love of family, spring is about resolutions and change, summer is about just being (and by that I mean, just enjoying things as they are!) and fall is about reflection. Isn't that funny how each season has its own meaning to me? I wonder if that's the same for you?
One thing that does cross my path in the fall season, too, is a little bit of seasonal depression. Isn't that odd how it's my favorite time of year and yet I get to feeling a little bit down during that season? It's nothing to be overly concerned about, but no matter what I do or try, it seems to be something that plagues me for a few days or more during the fall season. And then one day, it's gone and things are back to normal again. Do you think it's part of the reflection process going on? The shedding of the old to let in the new? Oh, who knows. At least the scenery around me is BEAUTIFUL during those days! :) Nothing warms my heart more than seeing the beautiful changing of the leaves. I think that it just signifies so much for me and brings back SO MANY wonderful childhood memories that I just can't help but smile and feel THANKFUL. :)
I have some more pictures and videos that I want to share with you over the next while, but guess what? I don't have them!! They are all pictures or videos that my friends took and so I have to get them to e-mail them to me. Once that's done, I'll be sure to share a little more of my days with you. Until then, take care and enjoy the beautiful fall season!!! :)

yay for fall! I did actually request an invite to Pinterest, but as far as I could tell, you have to have a facebook account to log on, and you're right -- I'm off facebook. It does look really cool though -- a great place to gather ideas and inspiration! Thanks for thinking of me. :)

oh, i love fall too! i think it's especially beautiful in wyoming somehow. we saw our first snow on the mountains today....it's pretty but i'm glad it wasn't down where we are!
Spring is my favorite! I just feel so excited to see new growth and GREEN stuff! I have a hard time during the winter feeling disconnected from nature. Fall is very beautiful though, especially in Indiana with the full range of leaf colors and shapes.
