First Day Of Fall - 2008

To me Fall is like getting all tucked into a comfy bed and feeling a cozy warmth inside great enough to last through the long night of winter till the sun of spring rises.

Hello,
I could not have said it nicer or better.
You are right, the fall (autumn in Europe :-)) is a beautiful season. I think what I like are the cobwebs and the cold air in the morning. Everything seems to be much slower, more peaceful. As if the world goes to sleep for a few months.
On the other hand, when the sun comes out, things are getting warmer and nicer and the vibrant colours let you enjoy nature in a very special way.
What a lovely time!

HI ,This is a nice article on fall…i like it very much…each and every line on fall made me to njoy this fall more and more with spirit..thanks…keep on posting …

Aaron, Please check your spellings too….Quit is a different word than quite and quiet.

Usages:
“Quit” - Please quit correcting other people. Its offensive (sometimes).
“Quiet” - When we are not sure, we should be quiet.
“Quite” - Plurals are s only, not apostrophe ’s’ which denotes possession and you have quite a few other spelling mistakes.

Aaron - That’s “quite”, not “quit”

Adam, I come from a country that is about 14 degrees (latitude) away from the Equator, so obviously, I had no knowledge about Autumn/Fall until I moved to North America. I love Fall because of the beautiful colors and the cool breeze, which we almost never got back home because it was hot all year round.
I want to encourage you to keep posting beautiful posts like this. It is encouraging to see that someone still has a beautiful heart; even with all the negativity around us today. Great job.
PS: Ignore the haters

First, “I don’t stop rushing long enough to think about the seasons very often.” You’ve managed to slow me down just enough to actually consider Fall and I appreciate it for its beauty. Aaron, you are certainly one to talk, you misspelled the word “quite.” Hello, Pot? “This is the kettle, your black!” Hehheh, enough said. Nice thoughts on Fall all the same.

good description of why we all like fall so much…

Fall is awesome!

The history of observations, photos from space, commentaries - all in this movie! Good luck

What a beautiful, gloriously apt description of autumn.

DO A SPELL CHECK THERE BUDDY! LMAO FUNNY SPELLING MISTAKES

Thank you for sharing this lovely writing with us. It really brightened my day and lifted my spirits.

So much beauty dwells under the autumnal sun. Autumn is undoubtedly my favorite season. It’s this time of year when I like to go out into the wilderness and appreciate life and everything around me. It’s when one can see the true serenity of solitude. Nothing can surpass the atmosphere that autumn possesses.

I quite agree with you Aaron… Fall is a wonderful time of the year full of surprises and much more wonderful items of interest. It is a tome of rebirth in which the earth is “reborn” and the plants and animals which inhabit the earth tend to be much more peaceful and respective of other beings. It is a time of understanding that we can all appreciate

hi

Do you people work?!

Fall makes me feel tingly inside.

Douglas and I agree with what Haley said

att: john smith

you are the biggest cry baby i have ever seen! let the leaves rest in peace? are you serious? they are freakin leaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a dumb ass!

One can just feel the love on this site! Keep it up fall-gawkers and assorted butt-patters, but be advised that the latest evidence suggests that this Adam guy doesn’t have much of a butt at all. Those in-the-know claim that he keeps a tri-fold wallet in one rear pocket and a German-to-English phrase book in the other. All to fatten-up his posterior’s appearance. In other words – he can’t feel your encouraging caresses. Still, I know he appreciates the sentiment, as he is growing sentimental in his dotage.

Fall is my favorite time of year also. Although, as a kid, I used to get pimples in the fall. A friend of mine had an older sister who was a cosmologist and she said that “fall blemishes” were common because the skin was acclimatizing. She was right I guess, even if that remark makes no freaking sense.

Anyway, Adam, Captain Bligh called and he says that you haven’t answered his most recent post. When he suggested to me that you were keeping mute because you didn’t know what you were talking about, I castigated him, remarking that you were surely reading something else he wrote – something even more pressing than your pending remarks about embodied carbon in automobiles. Hearing this, Bligh said he didn’t think so as he hadn’t gotten any kind of conformation that you had even received his work. It is a good thing that both you, I, and Sky-God know that Bligh is a liar.

Jon,

As far as responding to his last comment, I am still trying to figure out where he got the calculator, out there in the woods.

Tell him for me, will you, that I’ll call him soon.

Adam

Happy first day of fall! (Wish I was there)

First of all, a good friend of mine is dyslexic,andanother friend is ADD and a relative of mine has OCD. So I strongly resent the careless disregard for people with true disabilies. Just kidding!! Not kidding about the poeple I know with these disabilities, but I’m sure that even they would say that all of ya’ll with the insults and criticism need to chill out or go to a site where mean and crabby people are the major contributors to the discussion. Or maybe ya’ll should switch to decaf. Either way please “quite” taking a crap on people’s attempt to appreciate something nice about the world.

On a more positive note…What a great photo (the 2nd one) of the river and trees!!

I grew up in New England and we had great fall foliage up there. So I always and forever will associate fall with all the gorgeous colors, the sound of crickets at night being replaced with the sound of strong breezes through the trees (and the “showers” of leaves that follow the wind), and that unique smell of the leaves that have already fallen. I love all those things that you can only see in the states that get a “real” fall. (And please don’t whine at me for describing the things that I associate with fall. It all depends on where you’ve lived and what you’re used to and what you love about the change of seasons or lack thereof.)

When I was a teenager we moved to NC, where there’s still some good fall foliage, but nothing like New England, unless you take a trip to the Smokey or Appalacian mountains — just gorgeous!! That photo with the river is JUST like the Carolina mountains in the fall!! NC has a great state fair in the fall, complete with things like a “biggest pumpkin” contest, and the latest state fair invention — fried Snickers Bars. Yum?

I recently moved to the Southwest for a job, and every fall I miss all those things I associate with fall… I love the cold weather, but my Southwestern friends hate the cold and love the onset of summer. Everyone’s got their own things that bring them joy, so I’ve asked my mother to send me a box of leaves in the mail just so I can get a tiny bit of what fall means to me.
And I’ll soon be setting my screen saver to some fall foliage photos.

Hoping all you New Englanders have a wonderful fall, and please jump in a pile of leaves for me!!

Betsy

Fall is great

Que onda ese !!! fall it great cuz it helps relax da mind cuz when fall comes u in da hood

simply amazing! thanks for sharing!

You should turn it into a feel-good power point presentation and forward it by email. It would be better than those stupid ones about friendship and angels. lol

On an “Eco” note - autumn leaves make great compost!! And it turns out that if you neglect to rake any of your leaves, the grass still grows back perfectly fine the next spring. My housemates and I “tried” that one year (we got very busy and the landlord didn’t come by to leaf-blow as usual). We raked the front just for aesthetics, and composted the leaves, but left the backyard alone. I actually think the grass in the back looked better the next spring. And since the landlord uses a gas leaf-blower it was just as well he didn’t come by :).

Don’t forget to jump in your pile of leaves before you dispose/compost them !!!

John Smith takes the award for the stupidest comment. Fall is great, and yes not every place on earth has the fall season.

When did this blog become a freakin’ English class? Who gives a rat’s smelly balls about the spelling or punctuation? You knew exactly what they meant, that’s why you tried to show them the correct word. If you knew the word just continue reading– not stop and be a critic. The world is full of critics and lawyers, let’s do without some and blow up the others!

“Well put Adam”. I too feel the same way. Fall is a favorite time of the year for many reasons. It’s good to know others “appreciate” it also.

I love the picture and respect the fact that the author like’s fall so much. However, the article and references to slowing down and death and sleep all seem rather depressing. Beautiful pictures though.

I followed the Google fall link here, and want to say thanks for your comments on this day. Fall is probably my favorite season too. There is something a tad melancholy about it, but also something just right in balance, with the first cold snaps, and the alternating between cooler and warmer weather coming in, and that leaves turning and dropping.

I do not like fall, i do not like winter, and i do not like spring that much, i only like the two weeks i have here in the summer where the temperature does not drop below 20 degrees.
I love living in the tropics, life takes no breaks, what is growing there has been growing non-stop for ages, untouched by the cold hand of arctic air flows.

Wow! Just posted some yesterday and look at how many more comments are now today!

Fall is wonderful… Today as I was walking home from school, I saw the flies hovering in the air, shone by the warm afternoon sunlight with maple trees and bushes as background. Very stunning and peaceful view. Yes the world is going to take a rest for all the pollutions and disasters in the world. (China Milk… Greedy ppl… saw some ugly images in this beautiful season… how sad)Hope that problem will fall and from its ashes shall arise a new order that will shake the very foundation of the world… *warcraft*
