It starts from a young age. I'm in Tennessee and it stays warm through October here, too. When I was younger it was cooler in the fall. Still, the sun is just at a different angle in October and there's something cool about that!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-50025459699486499362014-09-02T16:04:59.156-04:002014-09-02T16:04:59.156-04:00Fall is my favorite time of year by far.

I love when the temps cool down and the sun is no longer out until 10:00 at night. I know the shorter days are hard for some people but I am just the opposite. I also love wearing long sleeves and long pants! I'm so pale I could be mistaken for a vampire so I hate summer clothes LOL. I'm always happy to turn the calendar over to September. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-13463544494127560062014-09-02T13:12:08.421-04:002014-09-02T13:12:08.421-04:00Now that sounds like a joyful walk.

We get the fall leaves to go crunch walking in and the rain that creates good stomping puddles, so I'm looking forward to those too. :) Thank you for the joyful post!Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-13640915391483591902014-09-02T11:15:27.471-04:002014-09-02T11:15:27.471-04:00I thought you'd say winter.

You mentioned the return of the snowbirds. HERE it is the return of the college students. University of Michigan has 25,000 of them--it makes my town feel crowded and tight, where in the summer there is room to spread out. And I work at the U, so my job picks up pace. Still... while life outside irritates me more, it REMAINS a good time for me to start stuff.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.com
