Well today is the first day that has really felt like fall. I have to admit that I am more than a little relieved that Summer is over. Can't say I will miss it. I am not sure if it is because I was born in the middle of winter, but something about summer just does not sit right with me. I enjoy the cold air.... when you go outside for a run or walk and you feel the slight burn in your lungs as you take a deep breath... The incredible quietness and solitude of a cold winter night. Nights spent next to the fire... holidays spent with the family. By next February I am sure I will be yearning for the feeling of renewed life that is associated with early spring, but for now I will just smile and look forward to the cold nights ahead.
