Last year at this time, my husband and II were in Tennessee near the Smoky Mountains. It’s a gorgeous time of year there. Blankets of yellow, brown, green, and orange cover the mountainsides. Crisp fall air caresses.Pumpkins are everywhere. It’s a great place to be.
This year we’re living near Jacksonville, Florida. There are no mountains (or hills, even). The trees are pretty much the same as they were months ago. The temperature is cooler for here, which means it’s almost cool enough to want a jacket first thing in the morning.
Do I miss the the colors? Yes. The weather? Some. Knowing it will be very cold soon? No! I love the sun, the warmth, I may write about vampires, but I’m pretty much the opposite.
How’s the weather where you are? Do you like lots of sunlight, or do you hide from it? What’s your favorite season?

I have always lived in the midwest and could not imagine living in a non-four seasons climate. The contrast of the seasons help me appreciate them all. My favorite season is spring…. all that new green sprouting after a cold, white winter.
Thanks for stopping by. Spring is a great season. Love how new it feels.
I enjoy fall, because I like the cooler temps. I enjoy seeing the changing leaves and the crisp air in the mornings.

Thanks for stopping by! I do miss that.
I love Fall & Halloween..the colors & smells. As a child, I loved getting dressed up & trick or treating. Still love it all. Only chance I legally get to dress up and pretend to be someone else.
It is a fun time of year!
Hi Cheryel,
I love fall colors. We still get them in Northern California and it is quite lovely. Thank you for participating in the Halloween hop. 🙂
Thanks for organizing the hop. This is a blast!
I’ve always been intrigued by Tennessee–looks beautiful!
Interesting. Where are you from?
I grew up in Georgia but now live in Texas. I miss all the beautiful fall colors and all the trees.
I never thought of Texas as so different in season, but it’s very south. Duh! Thanks for stopping by!
I love the change in the weather in fall. So it is my favorite. We get the wonderful smells, beautiful colors, bon fires, hay rides, hoodies. I love sunlight but i do prefer the evening. I love the stars. I def would make a good vampire. I am a night person. The weather here is wonderful in the fall usually in the 60’s high 50’s . winter is too cold.. I live in Ohio.. Thanks for the chance.. joelybogan@aol.com

It is getting cold back in Tennessee, where we were last year. Florida is cooler, but still quite warm. I miss the crisp days, but the sun is great too. I guess I’m torn.
Thanks for stopping by!
Tennessee is getting colder awesome contest
I’m having a bit of homesickness. I love the colors and that chilly air.

I love the cold weather. I lived in Jacksonville, FL for 8 years. I hated it. phaedracamille(at)gmail(dot)com

Right now it’s cold and dreary. Until yesterday, we had gorgeous Fall weather. Tomorrow it’s supposed to snow. That’s Michigan for you!
I have step-siblings who live in Michigan. I’ve never been there, though. Wait, snow? Brrrr.
Thanks for stopping by. Stay warm!
I love the smokey mountains. So beautiful. I’m from KY so we usually go at least once a year.
Kentucky is a beautiful state. Thanks for stopping by!
I prefer fall. Something about the change of colors in the trees.
I love fall too, just hate winter’s cold.
Thanks for stopping by!
