08:47 am - Happy New Year!
For me, Fall has always heralded the start of a new year. Perhaps it's because that's when the school year starts. Fall has always meant new things to learn, new people to meet, new challenges and information. Though I haven't been in school of any kind for years now, the feelings associated with a new school year always return when the days get shorter and the winds bring the chilly, crisp smell of ripe apples from the yard and snow from the mountains.
This weekend was the first day of Fall. Oh, it wasn't "officially," but this weekend was the first time it was cold enough to fire up the wood pellet stove and put on a couple of sweaters. It was the first time it was cold enough to drag out the giant, poofy down comforter for the bed, and the first time I felt that sense of energy, of new life for the year -- that sense that anything was possible. It was the first time we saw snow just outside of town. Yep, it's a new year, with new possibilities.
Now, let's GO GET 'EM!

*whines and bitches about the onset of winter* I'm right there with you.
I think part of it for me is that our summers are so hot that a lot of things get put on hold until it is cooler.
We had rain yesterday and I had to get the heater going in the morning. It was wonderful.
It's like coming out of a cocoon or something. Coming alive now that the weather is turning. I feel the same way about Fall.
I'm hoping something sparks me out of my rut soon.
Go Get 'em, MrsV!!!
*HUGS* w00t! happy new year Mrs.V :P
I think I enjoy all of the seasons.. they each have their own special traits that make then great for me. :) | From: |  ipuhlot |

Heh. All the moms on my street think their Happy New Year in the last Wednesday in August, when they shove their offspring kicking and screaming onto the school bus :lol: ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/17561059/3870182) | | From: | sushirob |

ok 10 out of 10 for purple prose, but really...arent we stretching things a little?
Im a rain person. I love the rain. Reno doesnt get rain. not real rain.
I guess another month and itll be down to 10 degrees at night. Guess I should shut off my water soon. *I* have apple trees. This is Chewie's favorite time of year, because the apples start falling and he can live up to his title of "The Apple-Eatingest Dog in America."
Rob, sadly, has no apples. That sounds like a rather personal problem for Rob to have. 0.o
:P
Do you eat any of the Apples or just Chewiie? :D
Take piccies!!!
Do they ever bonk him on the head?

even if they bonked him on the head, he wouldnt notice. Be lucky for him to pause to eat the apple.
I do so have an apple tree, just not 40 years old and bearing fruit. give it a decade or so, and damn it, Ill have one. the little guy survived the first year, so we'll see if it does better next. I dont even remember it blooming
