Yes, this song pops into my head this time of the year.
I know it's technically the wrong season, but I don't care.
For me, it is actually the most wonderful time of the year.
The suffocating heat has gone. Yes, there are a couple days that remind you of what once was, but for the most part the mornings are crisp, the skies are either an electric blue or a delicious grey. The sun goes down earlier and earlier with the evenings becoming crisp again.
Which brings me back to flannel sheets on my bed - which is the best!
Throughout the neighborhood I can smell the smoke from the fireplaces. It only makes me want to get mine going too.
Trees are changing colors. As of today, they aren't real vibrant, but it will be only a matter of days before the pop of color covers the valley in which I live. I love to look out and see the rolling hills change colors. The many shades of yellow, orange, reds and brown make my world look completely different.
Autumn appropriate decorations are cropping up. I've been waiting to buy my pumpkins for nearly two weeks. I'd hate to feed the squirrels that early in the season - and they can really do a number on fresh pumpkins.
Not that I'm looking forward to winter again, but I get giddy about Autumn.
My excitement builds from the end of September until the crescendo of Halloween (one of my most favorite things).
I guess it's the little girl in me who still loves to crunch through the fallen leaves, inhale the damp smell of earth, trick-or-treat, and eat candy.
There's no real need to let those things go. You just need a couple friends nearby who can enjoy letting their inner children out with you once in a while when the world is so full of adult things.

Roll on Halloween!!!!!!
OMG, I would have loved it too if my birthday was on Halloween. Mum would have said that it would have explained why I was so weird LOL.
I would've given much to have a birthday on Halloween.
Instead my birthday was usually the first week of school, which is not a gift I wanted to have :)
Oooooooo harsh birthday time.
That's a time of year you don't want to celebrate LOL.
No offense they sound like totally sucky presents.
We didn't get loads but we got about 8. We don't get many kids coming round anymore cos the pub down the road puts on a party for them.
I bet you got loads.
I hope you haven't had snow like in New York, that looks well scary.
Wowweee 3 weeks???? That's a long time to be stranded anywhere.
We are gonna put up the decorations tomorrow. They say we might actually have a white xmas day, I hope so.
Decorating didn't go well at all. The tree's stand broke and we had to go buy another. It's standing in the corner all bare till we can be arsed to decorate it this weekend.
I'd love to see the card. Is it a picture of all you guys in naff jumpers?
I hope Santa brought you those stretchy cookie accommodating pants.
Can't wait to see the pics.
