Journal #9

My favorite season is spring, but Autumn comes in as a close second. I like fall for several reasons. First of all, its the LEAVES. When it comes, everything starts to metamorphasize into something new. The lush green   leaves start to dull, and their colors change to scarlet, orange like the sunset, and yellow like the morning sun.  The hot stuffy temperatures of summer begin to recede, and the air becomes crisp and fresh. My favorite thing to do is open all the windows in the house and let the coolnesss come in. I also love it because you get to wear a hoodie or a jacket, and you never get too hot! Football season is in the autumn to, and i love going to games to watch our Plainsmen.  Because it's cold enough, you can also have bonfires, which are really fun too. Another reason I like autumn  it is the SMELL. The crunchy leaves and the freshness can completely change your day. There is no better thing to wake up to in the morning. With autumn comes chilly winds that blow and brush the colorful trees gently. Halloween and Thanksgiving come too. Halloween is awesomely fun, and my little sisters put on their costumes and run from house to house through the chilly night breezes, then come home with smiling faces, sugary mouths, and pumpkins full of candy. As for Thanksgiving, my family always goes to my Aunt and Uncles house, where we spend time with family all day and eat a TON OF FOOD. For the Tyler family, you can never have enough, so my Aunt and Uncle leave it out all day, and we all get platefulls, sit in the living room, and talk about memories and fun times we had thanksgivings before. It's always funny because my Aunt started up a tradition. After we all eat lunch, we go bundle up in coats, mittens, and stocking caps, and then take a walk through the autumn chill, laughing and talking and just having a good time. By the time we get back, our cheeks and faces are flushed red and we all sprint to the house, fling open the door, and let the warmth and smell of yummy food and the sound of giggling welcome us in. Overall it's a wonderful season. It's full of color, and it's a very family oriented time of year because it lead up to the holiday season, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and finally Christmas!
