And it is kicking my in my butt…er I mean head. I missed out on Fall for 15 years when we lived in Arizona. It may just be my favorite season, right after Christmas. That is a season, isn’t it? Christmas?
There is a huge farm locally that I adore to drive past. Two years ago, they planted these maple trees in a row along side of the road. There are three different kinds of trees and they were planted in a pattern. You can’t tell the pattern until Fall is here and the leaves are changing. It is a 1, 2, 3 pattern for those of you with little ones learning patterns in school.
I have been all stuffed inside my head for a good two weeks now. I’m talking Vertigo, pounding sinuses, the whole nine. So while I’m enjoying the colors changing outside, I am keeping the windows and doors shut tight.
My favorite color was Pink/Red for most of my life. But after the first Fall here a few years ago, yellow slowly became my favorite. I couldn’t remember such a beautiful color as the yellow of the leaves in the fall. And now that we have been through a few more of these magnificent Falls here, orange is joining the yellow, making my favorite colors yellow and orange.
My head still hurts if I am out in it for too long. But man, there is just nothing like the changing colors of Fall.
BTW, I signed up for Schnitzel & Boo’s Mini Quilt Swap. I’m not sure what I was thinking.
I also signed up for an ornament swap on Flickr. I think it is the dizziness in my head leading me to do these things.
Ok, I am excited though. I have so many ideas floating around in my head for them.
Hello October, and welcome Fall!
What is your favorite season?
Fall by far - October in SC was GORGEOUS! The lower humidity makes the sky the bluest of blue when it is clear -and the contrast with the dusky colors of fall - swoon!!! Out my window I have a tree hydrangea that is white and a dusty pink - so want to capture those colors in a project one day.
ReplyDeleteWinter. LOL. I would like fall more than I do but it seems I'm way too busy in the fall to appreciate it perfectly. I love the riot of colour but there's something to be said for the austerity of bare trees frosted over and the smooth blanket of white...
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to make a pattern with the trees. And so meaningful because it becomes more beautiful as the trees grow and mature. How lucky you are to drive past.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better! I never have liked cold weather, but as I get older I'm starting to enjoy fall more. I do love the changing leaves, and I'm a bit of a bird watcher, so I love seeing the bright pop of a cardinal in a stark background. But summer I love the best.
