Dear Autumn,
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am that you've finally arrived. It's not that I don't like different things about the other seasons but there is just something about you that makes me absolutely giddy.
Yesterday, Eric and I went up Timpanogos to see you at your best and I have to say that my favorite color of yours is that red that looks like the tree is on fire next to the golden aspen trees. While we were a bit sad that we missed all the flowers of summer, you made up for it in the crisp air and your perfectly lovely smell.
Now that you are here, there are a few things Eric and I are hoping to do. We want to go to a corn maze, carve pumpkins, make warm soups, drink hot chocolate by the gallons, go to football games (not to mention watching dozens of them), play tennis in the afternoon, eat carmel apples, decorate for the season and coming holidays, throw my very first party and wear sweaters. I've also really missed my Rocketdog boots.
Some don't understand my love for you but I think it has something to do with my genetics. I can't help it. It's in my blood. Have you ever had the pleasure of meeting my mother? She has instilled a love of your time of year in me and all my sisters from the time we were tiny. We go to Gardner Village and watch conference together. We swap all the best of your recipes and let the calories slide a bit. We watch Halloween movies together and talk about the best costumes. We have sparkling cider for Thanksgiving and we listen to the same old stories my mother tells of her childhood and ours and we'll all laugh like we've never heard them before.
I'm not sure if Eric loves you as much as I do but he certainly has fond feelings. I think it has to do with leaving the window open in the morning and snuggling under the covers before getting out of bed. He likes to snuggle in cool weather and I can't pretend it isn't my favorite time of day either. I still can't seem to get him to love hot chocolate the way I do but he certainly likes carmel apples and pumpkin cookies.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm happy you are here. You make me really appreciate my loved ones and for the time we have to be together. Without them, I don't know if I would love you as much as I do. So thank you for the time you have to share with us and for the peaceful feeling I have when I watch you slowly come and slowly go again.
Your Loyal Friend,
Kate

I love Fall! I am so excited as well. I love when the seasons change. What a creative post. I really enjoyed reading this.
Yur speaking my language sister!
(It really is Mom's fault isn't it?) ;)
I love, love, love this entry! I felt like I was reading your diary or something. You are very good at writing! Fall is lovely! Too bad it's followed by stinky winter. :(
Wow. That was an awesome letter. I love it. If Eric won't drink hot chocolate with you, he can play the Wii with Tyson and we can do the hot chocolate drinking.
I love your ode to Fall. I love Fall and all the things you get to do with it too!
