I Love Autumn!!!

[RICHARD]

I LOVE THE COLD WEATHER!!!!

I love the fall, I love football, I love baseball, I love hockey, I love
hot soup on a cold day, I love a warm house.... but I really love spending a Sunday afternoon with Edward on my lap!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIFE IS GOOD!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I love Autumn too! It's my favorite season!
Don't care for the football much but love the warm house and snuggling with the cats the most!

[nibblets]

I couldn't agree more. I am off work today and it is 51 degrees outside, gently raining, grey and I'm loving puttering around the house with my sweet Julie and faithful dog Buddy by my side.

There is nothing that says home to me like cool breezes, falling leaves and snuggling kitties. *sigh*

[NKBurlington]

Too bad there's no hockey this season.

Ah well. DH and I have had four fires lit so far and our last one (last night) was so hot that I had to get into my jammies because it was too hot in the living room! The kitties loved it and sat right in front of the flames and enjoyed the warmth.

Very nice!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yes, me too. Peanut has moved back to the bed at night and I'm so happy.

Richard I share your enthusiasm about autumn. It has ALWAYS been my favorite season. I think it is mostly because of the beauty of the leaves as they turn and the snuggling in at night and keeping warm and cozy. My lap is often full to overflowing. Ripley is always in it and sometimes shares it with Trevor and Andy if he has a mind to.

I agree! This is my first autumn with kittens so it will be even more fun.

I also agree with one exception:

I eat the hot soup after an afternoon of romping through the dried leaves in the park.....

Max and Speckles have both moved to the bed as well since the weather is cooler. Gotta love it. Richard, we have nothing to complain about, except that we have to wait 284 days until the next BBQ.

Oh yes, I *LOVE* autumn. Its my favorite season too. I really like how it smells outside. You walk outside, and the leaves crunch under your feet....yummy! I love autumn. I like the cooler air and the crisp feel of the air too.....I could go on and on about autumn. I am not into the whole sports thing though....not my thing. lol

I'll get you a Blockbuster card!


One draw back of colder weather is the tuna and cheese wet food that stays in the house when the house is closed up.

AUTUMN always has been my favourite time of year - from being a really small child.
It's just everything - the light, the smells and the colour. Everything is softer and kinder. I really don't like very hot weather and Autumn comes as a wonderful balm.
I learned this at 8 years old and every year it rushes back into the forefront of my mind:



To Autumn

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

John Keats. 1795–1821
