Don't "Leaf" Me, Autumn!

Alright, that was a little more than cheesy, but I love autumn!  Around Provo I always hear people asking and begging for the snow.  Why?!  The snow will stay around long enough once it gets here, can't we enjoy what autumn time we have?  I feel much more at peace with the rain than the snow.  The snow brings cold.  I don't like that.

I will be the first to admit that I've been listening to Christmas music since September, I've brought all my Christmas decor out of storage and I've just waiting on Thanksgiving to start setting up.  I've got all of my Christmas presents either purchased or planned, I've come up with a killer idea for an advent calandar for myself and my roommates (I hope it will work out!), and I was a major contributor to the paperchain countdown we made at work (by major contributor I mean that I co-decided to do it, brought in all the supplies, made most links, and set it up myself).  I've been on pinterest daily to find DIY Christmas projects.  Obviously I am SO ready for Christmas season!

However, Thanksgiving still has not made its arrival, so I don't want the snow... yet.  It can snow all it wants up in the mountains - satisfy the skiiers, look at the beauty, and get ready to tromp around on Black Friday to cut down a Christmas tree.  I love it!  In the valley, let's not rush this.  This is my favorite kind of weather - Hear that wind whistle, look out and see the leaves flying around and watch them fall to the earth where they stick, wet with rain. Don't leave me yet, autumn!! Old Man Winter will get his in due time...




I just added this picture because I can't wait to get this stuff!

  1. I totally agree! I always feel ripped off when we don't have a long enough autumn.
