Oh wow, what's not to love about Autumn!!! It's my absolute, most favorite part of the year and always has been. Mostly, I think, it's because I'm at my most (physically) comfortable state, overall. I don't do heat (or humidity, either) very well, as I have an endocrine problem that causes my body to not regulate the heat well and I easily get overheated. I also get heat rash (always have, even as a child) and heat exhaustion. So, for me, it's a welcomed and joyous period of being physically comfortable.

I love the Autumn colors and smells, too. During the 5 years I lived in Maine, I used to really enjoy being out in the wooded areas during the Fall months. The woods take on a really earthy smell and at night, the smells of people burning bonfires and wood fireplaces fills the air.

When I was a kid, growing up in Savannah, Ga., we'd have oyster roasts and "low country boils" in the fall evenings. Those were great times, when I had my health and lots of good friends and we had so many great, great times. We'd go out into the salt marsh and dig our own oysters, then dig out a hole in the ground, where we'd start our fire. When the fire burned down a bit, we'd then lay a sheet of 1/4 inch sheet metal over the fire pit, shovel those oysters on top and then cover them with water soaked burlap bags to steam. When the oysters were ready, they'd pop open and we'd load them with shovels onto newspaper-draped picnic tables and dig in!!!! I've never enjoyed raw oysters, tho many folks do, but I can eat my weight in steamed, baked or fried ones!!

Autumn is also the best, very best, time for sleeping!! I can soooo get a good night's sleep during the Autumn months!!

Oh yeah.....FALL!!!!!

Bring it.
