I thought I would take a moment out of my day and talk about the upcoming seasons. I love the changing of leaves, the colors of the sky and how the air temp changes to a cool and light breeze. Can you tell I hate the heat. I remember as a kid knowing exactly when Fall was by watching out tree just outside my window. First the leaves would change from a dark green to a light creme brown and the tips would still be a light green. Soon the leaves would fall and the weather was a calming cool and I would just be happy. It wasn't that winter was right around the corner but that rain would come and I love the smell of rain. It had to be the first rain. The distinct smell reminds me of my childhood to this day. I loved living in the house where I grew up. I would and could go through the house in the complete dark and know where everything was, the sounds it would make and the way it felt in the Fall. It is the place where I felt at home, the only place I felt at home. I was there for 14 years made friends, lost friends and had my first boyfriend there. To this day I drive by the house and although the current tenants have changed the outside it still looks like my home. When we first moved to Riverside I would go back there and think I am going to buy back that house one day. But as I think on it know what I wanted where my memories and I will always have those. Riding my bike with no hands until I slipped and fell in the gutter, having my first kiss, and my first cat who turned out to be a boy that I named Princess Sophia. Hey both my Nonno and Dad told me it was a girl, but surprise he wasn't. He would walk me to school everyday and then walk me back from school. He was awesome.
Fall reminds me of home, brings back memories and happy times. This fall I am going to make different ones and enjoy the happy times. Stop dwelling on the uncontrollable world.
