Dearest Fall

 Dearest Fall,
welcome back, lovely season. You were greatly missed in my life. Have I told you that?
It's true. So very true. Why you ask? Well, there's just something about you that's wonderfully
different from the other three seasons. Should I explain?

You bring brilliant colors left and right, hues of gold and magnificent reds. Your temperatures allow
me to wear cozy sweaters, warm scarves and oppurtunities for night hayrides and bonfires. You bring a time of harvest, family gatherings, delicious food, and fun football games. :) I love walking outside during one of your crisp but sunny days and just soaking in everything about you. Because, sadly, you won't be around forever.

Simply put, however, you're beautiful. Surely you know that!

If you didn't, well, now you do. Because Spring can't compare, Summer is, well, it's too hot, and Winter (although it's splendid)  can get a little too cold.

This is why I love you.

And I'm extremely grateful that you're going to be around for another couple of months.

Once again,
welcome back.

             Love,
                       me

                                  Fall is wonderful, isn't it?
                                        Enjoy your week,
                                                             Josie

Something that is very exciting

                                                    See that girl in the purple shirt?
                                              You may recognize her from my camp posts.
                                             Well, in two weeks she is coming to visit me!

                            Aside from camp, we never really get to see each other. So we've
                         had to learn to be content with emails and phone calls. Although this year
                        was different. We've seen each other three times (including those five days
                        at camp) since May! However, this is the first time that we'll be getting together
                        for a whole weekend. It's kind of a big deal. :)

                                               And it's getting wonderfully closer!
                                                 I can't wait to see you, Jessie!


                                                       Until another day,
                                                                             Josie
