I don't know ( yet ) about anyone else here, but I love autumn!

It's the time of year all of my more romantic urges and actions seem to constantly spring forth. The depressing heat and humidity of summer is gone,,, the blahs of winter have not yet set in,,, and tax time is still a ways off.

I do believe that the cooler daytime air and crisp nights lend themselves to romance.

Walks in falling leaves with a sky so much clearer and so blue that it hurts to look up at it. The leaves crackling under foot every where you go and yielding a delightful earthy aroma. The gathering of the last flowers to bloom as well as the gathering of the harvest (symbolically) with apples and pumpkins.

Nights by a fireplace that still has it's novelity, with no thoughts or dread of the bringing in wood chore, nor how much the fuel (any) is costing,,, sipping a wine or mulled cider while basking in the light of the flames. Bon fires,,, with roasted marsh mellows, sparks rising and swirling to blend with the stars.

A shared evening meal over looking a lake sparkling with the reflection of a full moon or stars and resonding with the noises of migrating birds.

Weather cool enough to almost demand holding hands, cuddles, and snuggling without becoming too sticky from the weather,,, nor bored by the request once again as it tends to be in winter.

Yep, I do believe that autumn is the best time of year for romance. And those feel good feelings that result from romanace.
 
I love rain.

I love this time of year because it normally rains the most around now at least where I live. I've always loved rain and thunder storms. In arizona there used to be great thunderstorms but in california we don't get many. I enjoy going to sleep with the sound of rain hitting the roof more then almost anything. I used to enjoy swimming while it rained to....yes I know it's dangerous but it's so fun...but havn't done that in along time.
 
I love autumn too. The colours of Nature are lovely and vibrant and the air is crisp. For some reason I think of it as a quiet, introspective time of year.

I enjoyed reading that post, CW. Thanks! :)
 
~sigh~

I need a boyfriend!! (taking applications, the position needs to be filled before it starts to snow! ~L~)

I love autumn too (I like all of the seasons, but I'd have to say, for all the reasons you listed and more (football!) that this is my favorite!)
 
I miss rain.

This reminds me of that Madonna song, I'm getting misty eyed now.
I want to go home!

Wash away my sorrow,
take away my pain.
 
I absolutely LOVE this time of year. I've always hated summer, too hot. And my fav. thing to do when I've had a bad day is to just go for a walk and listen to the leaves crunch under my feet. It's like it takes away my stress. I also like spring too, but not as much because that means that summer is on it's way. But I do love the thunder storms. No matter how mad or depressed I am, when I hear thunder (the louder and harder the better) I instantly get a smile on my face. My spirit's are lifted.

I really liked this thread...thanks CW.
 
I love this time of the year, unlike summer ( to hot) or winter (to cold). the trees are turning and painted a beautiful picture across the landscape, its a wonderful time of the year
 
Leaves...

I know this street in my town that nobody else pays attention to...it's a tree covered hill street, and it must be the first place to turn autumn in the world...I love autumn...
 
Yes!! We actually had a cold snap in Sunny Florida. I love this weather!!!!!!!
 
sweet time of year

Autumn leaves,drifting, floating. The breeze flowing through my slightly ajar window. The sudden whosh and clattering of blinds. Snuggling in the comforter and cuddling with my lover. Nature's way of reminding me of my insignificance. Autmn even in its fury I am in silent awe.

I was stationed in the deserts of Arizona for three years while doing a hitch with the Air Force,,, I know what you mean about the rains there,,, there were times that the thunder would roll on and on in the distance for hours, finally the storm would move in close enough to see the lightening and eventually a curtian of rain would appear also,,, Then and only then would the air take on a softness and have a delightful smell ( much more intense than in the Eastern US ),,,

Snuggling down under the comforter with big fluffy pillows in an attic room while listening to the rain beat upon a roof,,, that in it's self is nearly a mind blowing orgasm.

Maybe because it's such a quiet introspective time of the year that we do find it easier to enjoy ourselves? Not that we aren't capable of enjoyment any other time,,, it's just that autumn seems so much more laid back all in all that it's easier to focus on ourselves for a brief period.

And you are very welcome. ;)

I think that a thunderstorm is natures way of providing a mantra/chant to soothe the spirit in us,,, just relax, let it wash over and around you, it will flush away the burdens that you are carrying around bottled up inside of you.

Glad that you enjoyed it.

I live in the foot hills of the Laurel mt.'s here just outside Pittsburgh and took the family for a ride thru them over the weekend. Just a ride nothing more than to check out trees and what colors the leaves were and see the deer and horses ect.

It was a nice few hour ride.

Does Manu + Skitten know about this Wiz! .... woooh ....


In all seriousness it is a nice thing to drive out into the middle of nowhere and see what nature does for a change... course out here it is spring but is nice anyway.

What a wonderful time of year

I agree autumn is the best season in many ways. I am a backpacker and the best time to go, around here is from mid-september on. I can walk forever in the cooler temps and there is nothing like getting in that nice warm sleeping bag in the cool night. (of course it is always better when 2 bags are zipped together and there is another body to snuggle with)

I have canoed and camped during th fall... it is just amazing to sit and look at the colors. I primarily do my canoeing in the Adirondack Mts. and have never been disappointed.

OH did I metion there are few or no bugs!!!!!!!!
