I woke up early today, earlier than normal, the alarm had not yet went off but there I was.....wide awake! But I wasn't alone my husband was awake too. It was a special morning.....why you wonder?????? Today is the first day that we went outside and there it was....the faint smell of what happens to be our favorite time.....FALL!
You could smell the crispness in the air, many because it rained last night or maybe because its a cool 63* outside. No matter what the reason it was there and we could smell it.
I think fall offers a gateway to the past. This is the time when I think back about all the first days of school with our kids, and begin to think and laugh about all those Halloweens past, and how cute they looked. Wow does time ever fly. But fall for me also offer a gateway to the future. Like this fall our youngest son will start the 8th grade and my oldest baby will be start his last year of high school.....as I type the tears fall.
I can't believe we are already here....at this point....his last first day is fast approaching...and Im sad!
This blog post wasn't even meant to bring out all of these emotions but here they are!
My babies are growing up and Im not ready.....
WOW so with all that said its a bit of a sappy time for me I guess. What does Fall mean to you??????
(I guess for me it means more than just apples, pumpkins, crisp air and fall fashion....)
