I missed out on fall while living in Florida for the past five years. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I would much rather be cold than hot, which is probably why I prefer fall to spring. I can live with and even delight in knowing that cold is coming. Hot is a different story. Fall in Oregon is living up to all of my patient expectations. The trees have begun to change colors a bit. The tops of the trees are turning red while the rest is still green, so beautiful! The crisp air is so refreshing and encouraging to me. Knowing that the hot, sweaty days of summer are coming to an end makes me smile. I never want to live without fall ever again.

   Could you tell me more about this phenomenon known as "Fall". I know the many stories, but have yet to actually witness one in my lifetime. I've heard it's glorious. In case you were wondering, the palms and pine trees in Florida are still green.

   Johnny Impact, i truly mourn for you for never having experienced fall. you must atleast visit your parents some october so you get a small taste of what i love so much. the northeast and northwest definitely display fall, i believe, in more dramatic ways. but i am an Illinois girl and that is where i first fell in love with fall. i'll try to send pictures, but they won't do it justice.
