Crisp, Cool Fall

The warm weather is gradually coming to an end. A crisp, cool breeze will soon descend the colorful leaves from the trees. It is time to put away the bathing suits, flip-flops and sunscreen and fish out the sweaters and boots. During the season of Fall, houses no longer are decorated with vibrant colored flowers, yet they are embellished with gourds and bales of hay. Fall is a favorite season of mine because of its picture perfect weather. It is cool enough for sweaters, sweatshirts and boots, yet not cold enough for heavy winter gear. In America, Fall is the beginning of football, pumpkins, colorful leaves and apple picking. The start of Fall also means beginning of a pristine school year. I am fond for pumpkin spice latte's, apple pie's and a Thanksgiving feast. Fall is my favorite season as it brings glee to my taste-buds and wardrobe.
