Let The Good Times Fall

The warm summer air is now leaving us, as these now cold days give us the sign that it is fall. The fall season also known, as autumn is a very special time that surprisingly ranges from September 21st all the way up to December 21st. One of my favorite things to do during the early fall season is drive through Hines Drive while all the leaves are changing colors. It makes a beautiful sight to see.

Fall is a time when football season is at its prime. The thrill of spending a Saturday watching colligate athletes, playing for the love of the game and not money, work hard to provide their school with a victory is second to none. Or watching Monday Night Football during the month of October and getting the chance to see a thirty-nine year old man beat the Vikings and accomplishing the rare feat of defeating all thirty-two teams in the NFL at one point.

Fall is also the time when hockey season begins. The anticipation of waiting all summer to see your team play, and if it’s the Red Wings, then blow two, two goal leads in Sweden to start the season off 0-2. Now the question is whether or not Detroit has the strength to make a third Stanley Cup Final visit in three years. They may have an “off year” and finish fourth in the division and loose in the Western Conference Finals, which is success for most NHL teams.

What else could top watching playoff baseball during the fall? Well I guess it would be better if your team had made the playoffs and not blown a seven game lead in which they held at one point in September. Still playoff baseball is always dramatic whether the beloved hometown team made it this year or not. Will the Phillies repeat? Or will the Yankees, who are on fire right now, rise back to the top like old times? These are questions in which only time will tell as the fall season rolls along.

Halloween also takes place in the lovely fall season. Kids and grownups alike, from all around the world, dress up in costumes to fit the mood of this great holiday. Don’t let the delicious candy that is passed out while kids go trick-or-treating be forgotten. Or the fact that some teenagers act like they are to old for trick-or-treating but would die to be able to go run out and get some candy, especially anytime type of Hershey’s chocolate.
Fall is an eventful time of sports and festive activities. Although the whether maybe cooler it doesn’t stop our state from enjoying fun things to do. Fall is a month I enjoy second to summer. It is just a beautiful season. I LOVE FALL!!!
