Autumn really is my favorite season. For some reason, I often feel guilty about that. Maybe it's because plants are dying and Daylight Savings Time is ending. It's the beginning of the ending of the year. I usually don't like endings.
But autumn always seems hopeful to me. The weather finally begins to turn cool. October is the glittering finish line of the heat marathon that is summer in central Texas. You have endured summer, air conditioner on one hand, swimming pool on the other, and you have won. Ahead are cold fronts and fuzzy socks and blankets and Christmas. These are a few of my favorite things.
