Dear Fall (A Love Letter)

Dear Fall,
I miss you. It has been too long since we last met. Summer is giving me a terrible time- the red hot heat & humid air. Oh, won't you hurry back?
We always have such fun, you and I. I always love our time together. Your crisp, cool air and warm, bright colors give way to all my favorite things. I crave the baked treats I get to enjoy and the warm spiced drinks you bring to my lips. I toast a large cup of sin to you....I mean a venti Caramel Apple Spice. You make me fill my tv screen with my favorite of movies- "You've Got Mail", "French Kiss", "When Harry Met Sally". (Yes, you are apparently the season of Meg Ryan.)
Remember our time together last year? You gave us the perfect wedding present. You blew your cool breeze through my veil throughout the ceremony. You allowed the sun to brightly shine on your colors of gold, brown, and crimson red. No one complained of the heat or moaned in your presence. You followed us as we traveled those long miles away, making our cabin a vacation of dreams. You were even so kind as to follow us to our new home and stay with us awhile longer. How selfless you are, Fall.
I wish that you would hurry back to us. I wait so eagerly for you. I promise that when you return you will be welcomed into our home. I'll walk out to greet you daily and thank God nightly for your presence. I'll bake treats in honor of you and drink to your visit.
Oh, Fall, please come and rescue us. Summer has outstayed its welcome.
Love one of your most devoted friends,

  2. Fall is my favorite time of year, and every August the longing for it rises up in me, and I quickly am over summer.
