Summer... Summer... Fall?

Glancing outside today, I imagined Fall dancing across the grass, her bright red curls trailing behind her like streamers.  Clad in a plain brown dress and slippers, she doesn't seem like much more than a child, but green eyes filled with mischief tell otherwise as they peek behind her little figure.  In her hand she holds five ribbons, each colored the deepest blue, and as she dances forward, they stain the pale, chalky sky, the same color.

Fall is obviously one of my favorite seasons.
In Florida, though, it takes a little more effort to see any signs of the glorious season, because almost always feels--and looks--like summer.  My theory is that this state missed God's memo on the whole seasonal color change.  Very few trees here do change, and when they do, it's normally months late...  Think Christmas.  Not only that, but even the weather stays warm through October most years.  Which to me, who is an avid snow lover, is sad.

One way I can tell that fall is here, though, is when the sky begins to change from that ugly, summer blue, to the dark cerulean blue of fall.  It's wonderful.

Thank God for the seasons. :]

There's a blog for everyone...

It's amazing all the things people blog about.  There are people that blog about anything and everything, there are people who blog about life in general--me--and then there are people who blog about random stuff.  And when I say random, I mean random.  There are people who blog about fruit, for heaven's sake!  It's amazing!

It's a fact that I went out yesterday and today on a blog hunt during a spout of boredom between homework times, and I have to say my results were pretty interesting.  As I said before, people blog about fruit--more health than just, you know...  blogging about fruit for no reason other than that they like fruit--and I have several blogs on crocheting and knitting that I have saved in my favorites.  Then there are the business blogs.  I found one that deals with steam showers and another that had something to do with computers...

Can you tell I was amused?
Yeswell, this is how I spend my spare time...
