    Pro - Leaves are changing colours and they do it in the most amazing way here in Michigan, things are getting cozier, perfect weather for all kinds of soups and stews

    Cons - way too short here, winter is coming too soon, and staying for too long haha, the sky has menopause, which leads to unpredictable weather in the beginning

    Leeze, I think that is one of the best descriptions I've heard in a long time: "the sky has menopause." =))

    Pros: I absolutely love love love that thickly-metallic smell of on coming snow!! I also love the chilly crisp winds, great for long brisk walks!! I love the leaves changing colors, but it's no where near as magnificent a process here in Colorado, as it was in Oklahoma or Arkansas. ( no where NEAR the variety of colors here). I love inventing new soups, and finding new books to read. I love how my pets get fuzzier, all the better for snuggling. Fires in the fire place, Christmas and Thanksgiving, and scarves. The crazy annoying sound of my footsteps across freshly fallen snow.
    The amazingly eerie silence after the snow falls. The glittery reflection of the snow in the sunlight.

    Cons: icy roads, blizzards, unless I'm not having to work, then I love it! The day ends ands earlier. Cabin fever strikes right around Jan...having to dig out my car, but at least I'm not in Canada, hear it's tons worse there! And not having horses anymore.. For some reason I miss them
    During the Fall seasons worse than any other time.. Wonder why that is??

    SD: you don't have to rake the leaves! http://www.scotts.com/smg/goART2/InfoHowTo/mulching-leaves/11800002///
    (that's a PRO!)

    PRO: crunchy leaves to step on
    CON: it rains here so much, the leaves don't really have a chance to get crunchy

    PRO: pumpkin pie/bread/muffins/cookies
    CON: pumpkin spice everything else-perfume, air spray, car freshener...I can sometimes 'taste' it when I walk through a store

    PRO: the rainy season is starting...(I hope) Now when people visit, they will think it's a miserable place to live and never want to move here. {evil laugh}
    CON: needles EVERYWHERE! all over the yard, the driveway, the vehicles, the patio, the gutters, the roof, the dogs' paws (thanks to that magical "glue" called tree sap), the cat's fur, the doormat inside AND outside the house, the random needle on the couch that pokes your bum when you sit down...


    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    This doesn't apply to me, does it? But, but....I was going to bring my hedgehog and everything.

    Of course not! I would love to see you again and meet your hedgehog!
