Fall

I love the smell and feel of fall. East Tennessee is such a beautiful place to be during this time of year. Lately I have been doing alot of driving back and forth from Knoxville to my hometown and one of the parts I love the most is seeing all the rolling hills covered in orange, yellow, and red. I don't know what it is about fall, but it reminds me of childhood and new beginnings. As a kid there was nothing more fun than making a big pile of leaves, jumping in and breathing in that lovely smell. There's just something about the briskness in the air that makes everything seem so fresh and new. Unfortunately it seems as though the nice weather stays for a shorter and shorter time period every year bringing on the lonely winter blues faster than expected...if only fall would linger just a bit longer. Wouldn't it be nice?
