I went hiking yesterday. Lately, when I’m outside walking, all sorts of thoughts go through my head. The air, the breezes, the coolness and sunlight all make it feel like fall. And fall makes me think of how wonderful it felt to go home after a day at school. It makes me think about being back in a routine, and about walking home, and about family dinners. It makes me think about when I would wait until 8:00 to do homework but I still got it done. It makes me think about the time I got home and my two sisters and my mom and I realized we were all wearing red shirts and jeans that day.
Fall makes me happy. Whenever the seasons change, I think, “This one. This one is my favorite.” But I think I just like the changes.

I miss fall. We have fall here, sort of. I think. What happens is that some of the trees lose their leaves. And it gets darker a little earlier. So far, that is our fall. The temperature is still...well, 72.
On the Affiliated Housing website (the people who are in charge of student housing) there are "promotional pictures" of people living in student housing. They mainly feature this mom and daughter walking through the complex. The lawns are green, there are leaves on most of the trees and a few leaves scattered on the ground. The only key to the season is the interior pictures, where they have a Christmas tree up.
Thank you, you sweet kid. I'm thrilled you have good memories. A mother couldn't ask for more.
