It’s fall time. Autumn. Actually the first day of autumn was 9/18. So I’m late. I was sick. sue me. :)

I love the fall. Not because my birthday falls within the season either! I love the colour changes, the temperature changes (especially that!), and just the smell of autumn. Every season has that certain smell, but I like the smell of fall the best. It reminds me of times long ago.

If Sam and Jeff N. are still around reading here, (I hope they are) today is a day that reminds me of the time when we all went to Smithville Park to take some pictures. Man…I Really miss that park in Jersey. It’s just off Route 38 in Mt. Holly, NJ. A Really small lake, you wouldn’t even think twice of going there except for some reason or another it caught my friend Mark’s eye. I’ve got tons of pictures of us there.

Thinking about that makes me think about Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ahhhhhh Love those memories. I guess that’s what makes me like the fall the best. It makes me nostalgic.

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason.
– A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway”
