Finally, we have a reprieve from the hot weather of the deep south. Living is south Alabama is wonderful most of the year. The summers are really hot and humid. The winters are mild but sometimes get very cold. The temps actually do get into the single digits. This week we are having fall-like temps and low humidity and it feels really wonderful.
I think fall is my favorite time of the year. I really like the spring but the fall is better after the long, hot summers we have. I love the changing colors and the flowers that bloom in the area this time of year. The wildflowers are especially beautiful. Mostly, it reminds me of the upcoming holidays that I will get to spend with my family. The last few months of the year are always fun, even if they are hectic. They will be especially fun this year. I have three grown children and they all live close by now. I also have three grandsons who are so much fun to have around. My family is what makes the holidays so special. To me it's not about the gifts at Christmas or what anyone can do for me. It's all about being with my family and letting them know how much they mean to me.
I hope wherever you are, you have a wonderful fall and the weather is good to you. I also hope for you a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
