People ask me what my favorite season is, and usually I tell them summer.
This is partially false because a Seattlite's definition of summer is similar to that of late spring in Washington DC.
Everyone I meet seems to favour the season in which they were born, and I've always felt slightly odd for not liking fall...seeing as that is when my birthday falls.
But fall in Seattle, you see, is typically nothing but freezing cold temperatures with endless rain and cloudy skies.
You can't crunch through leaves because they're soggy, the air is not as crisp because of the overcast cloudy-ness, and it's just generally not as pleasant. Being one who dislikes the cumbersome nature of umbrellas, I typically get rather wet during this season, as well as end up with my glasses all spotted with water. >.<
But this year, I am discovering how much I really do love the fall. You see, we've been having a decent fall. A normal fall. The sun has been out, the leaves are crunchy, the air is crisp.
I don't have to wear a 20-pound coat and line my feet with socks. I can dance through the leaves with my sweater. I can take deep, full breaths of beautiful fall air.
I can run through the park with my dog, and sit in the sunshine to soak it all in.
I love fall.

Hello, Sunshine. =]
We got some rare, precious, absolutely gorgeous Seattle sun today. It was also extremely windy. This morning it was pretty bitter and cold, but it's warmed up considerably, so I went outside to run around in it.
There's nothing so lovely as running through God's Creation under the a beautiful sun with a blustery wind flying through your hair, picking wildflowers and rolling down the hill.
You see the wind coming, blowing over the tops of the trees, rustling through the leaves...then it hits your face and your hair flies back. I especially love running down hills. (and rolling!) and twirling around in circles.
God's Creation is lovely. This has been been the most wonderful Monday all school year. 3 more weeks left of school and 31 days till I leave for Nats!
