Just Enjoying the Season

Fall has always been my favorite season. I don't know if it's just because I like the weather, for Halloween, because my birthday is in November (probably that one) or what, but it's been my favorite for as long as I can remember. There are so many great things about Fall. School starts up again, the weather starts cooling down, leaves are changing colors - and where I live in Western Maryland, that is certainly a sight to behold, I recommend that everyone visit Allegany County during late October just to look at the mountains - I can pull out my scarves and sweaters, and everything comes in pumpkin!

Right now I'm sitting outside enjoying Fall while I should be finishing a book for my English class at 3:30. If you're familiar with the University of Maryland campus, I'm at Hornbake Plaza. There's some group in the middle advocating for their cause, as usual. It's cool this time though, they're working for hunger relief, I think, and they have this big banner taped down on the ground and their schtick is they'll paint the bottom of your feet and have you walk on the banner to show support. I might do it before I go to class, but I also really like these shoes and I don't exactly want to get paint on the inside of them, and all there is to wash your feet off is a bucket of water...oh well. We'll see.

Today actually has some great weather, in my opinion. It's not raining, which is nice. The sun isn't out, but it's still bright out, and the whole sky is this big white blanket that I just want to tear down and wrap up in. It's chilly out, but just chilly enough. I love it. Having some sunshine would be nice, but today is almost perfect just the way it is.
