Even though the first official
day of fall was September 22, it never really feels like the fall season to me
until October arrives. The leaves start to change color, the air gets crisp,
and the days get a little shorter and the nights a little longer. From
childhood to present there are so many wonderful memories associated with the
fall season: jumping in leaves, the fall carnival in elementary school, carving
pumpkins, dressing up, Halloween parties, college football games, tailgates,
spending nights next to a fire with friends, staying in to watch a classic
movie on a cold night, plus so much more!
There is something about the
fresh, crisp sense to the air that gives a feeling of renewed hope and energy.
Over the weekend I went to downtown Franklin, TN. to enjoy a gorgeous fall day.
I have to say I love Franklin, it’s like you stepped back in time to a small
town; everyone is so friendly and the stores are wonderful! The leaves haven’t started
to turn yet but there is a different feel to the air; falls reminder that it
will soon be here in full force.
“Life
starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books; I still can't believe I haven't for the time to watch the movie! Thanks, I'm excited about the URL!
DeleteBeautiful pictures! I love fall too... I don't know how else to describe it but it feels like magic it just in the air this time of year! Beautiful and quaint little downtown area in Franklin too. We have that in my city as well (Leesburg, VA) and I love it, especially this time of year!
ReplyDeleteYou described the feel of all perfectly! It really does feel like magic in the air!

I purchased my URL from godaddy.com, it wasn't expensive at all, I think it was eleven dollars maybe at the end. The only down side that I've experienced by changing URLs is that once I changed to the new ones my AdSense ads went away since it is a different URL and I'm having to get my site re-approved. So be warned: if you have google ads they'll go aways and you'll have to get re-approved. It will be a good thing in the long run, plus I think it looks nicer.
Deletecongrats on purchasing your URL!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)!
DeleteI realised it's no longer summer yesterday, when it suddenly got chilly!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures :)

DeleteAs a Southerner myself, I know what you mean. Now that there is a little nip in the air, especially at night, and the first leaves are beginning to change, I feel like it's fall. What a beautiful town - I've never been, but looks like one I need to visit - so charming and quaint!
