I love fall--the excitement of kids going back to school, the crisp leaves, the deep colors. Sometimes the beauty of it all is overwhelming.
Well, that part of fall is over--at least here. Since Halloween and the end of daylight savings time, we've had dark dreary days (the picture below was taken in the middle of morning!) and early nights along with wind and pouring rain. Then there are the wrinkly-mouthed rotting pumpkins (I wish I'd taken a picture of the disgusting grey and white fuzz growing in ours), the moldy leaves, the barren bushes and plants. . . . when I say I love fall, I'm definitely talking about the first half!
Luckily I also love the first part of winter (as well as the beginning of summer and all of spring), so at least I have something to look forward to :)

Wow, that last picture just totally made me feel like I was HOME again! It even made me homesick--although I know it's depressing when it last so long:)
You're right it is a little depressing when it is raining, but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. I guess you have to enjoy the nice days and remember them when it is dark and gloomy.
I did speak too soon on this one--we had a beautiful day today, and I was happy to be wrong :)
