Right now...Living in the Midwest is perfect for me. Right now I can't wait for the blue skies and crisp air of fall. Towards the end of the fall, winter sounds ideal with its snowy beauty. Then I long for cold gray skies to move into the riot of spring color and warmer air. That, of course, gives way to summer on a river (or if I'm lucky) ocean beach. Then it's time for the cycle to start all over again. Perhaps I'm easily bored???<br /><br />Pat<br />Critter Alley<br />Pat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-7164706251795333152012-09-01T10:12:57.455-05:002012-09-01T10:12:57.455-05:00Yes - and I love your descriptions.

Fall meant volleyball, and marching in the band at football games. Even now, I like getting back into the school routine.<br /><br />My melancholy falls in mid-July. I can see the end of summer vacation on the horizon. Once my break is over, I'm itching to return to school. It's mainly the thought of losing my free time, not the thought of going back to work, that grates on my nerves.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-36753344335204337112012-08-30T20:24:11.463-05:002012-08-30T20:24:11.463-05:00Goodness, Linda, your imagery just took my breath ...Goodness, Linda, your imagery just took my breath away!<br /><br />But I know exactly what you mean...for me, it's right after Labor Day.

Oh, like the song says, "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance, for ever and a day...."<br /><br />Then I feel the tears come and it's time to pull myself back into the NOW. <br /><br />Thanks for a nice post, Linda.

But it was also a new beginning at school, cooler days, new penny loafers, my birthday, kicking leaves, football games, mum corsages, pumpkins on porches and family for Thanksgiving. It might be my favorite season now (few tornadoes!) if only winter wasn't hanging in the wings!!!Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.com
