All aright, a little background here. I hate fall. The only good part about it is football. But I hate the approaching cold and the leaves dying is not pretty to me but a reminder that cold and death is coming. So… I have a parity that I’ve been working on. This is version 1.0. Very silly of course.
I think I need a different word instead of misquoting…..
By the way, I think I hold the copyright on my parity so I can post all the verses!
quote: It’s the most ugly time of the year The trees look like they’re dying The leaves are rotting and cold is very near It’s the most ugly time of the year
It’s the sad-saddest season of all With warmth going away If only it were May Soon snow comes to call It’s the sad-sadist season of all
There’ll be cold nights of shivering Roads full sliding And wrecks out in the snow There’ll be terrible stories And tales of wrecked deer of Cars long, long ago
It’s the most ugly time of the year There’ll be much misquoting And hearts will be dimming When the cold is hear It’s the most ugly time of the year
There’ll be cold nights of shivering Roads full sliding And wrecks out in the snow There’ll be terrible stories And tales of wrecked deer of Cars long, long ago
It’s the most ugly time of the year There’ll be much misquoting And hearts will be dimming When the cold is hear It’s the most ugly time It’s the most ugly time It’s the most ugly time It’s the most ugly time of the year

Autumn is my favorite time of the year and the only season I really miss living in Hawaii. The only downside to fall is all of those nasty football games.

I love fall, but I'm biased, I was born in September, and was a bookworm.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that you don't much like the autumn. Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
I love the fall. It smells so good and the air is so crisp and fresh. I also really like the winter so that could add to my enjoyment of the fall. Fall's also very very pretty what with the leaves changing and all; it's a great time for hiking.

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Bunch of sick ooo's. Beach! Warm! Heat! What's wrong with you all.

Jay, I am moving to FL and I will miss the Fall a lot, I think. Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Ugh, I hate heat because here it comes with humidity.
Posted by Avatar300 (Member # 5108) on :
I prefer spring to the fall. Things are growing instead of dying.
To me the fall feels like decline. Spring brings promise, and baseball.

Fall=best time of the year to go hiking.
Temps are not too hot, the foilage is beautiful, it's just all around wonderful.
I love autumn.
Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :
Fall's the best, dude. Trees changing colours, the smell of the dying leaves. Crisp beautiful weather... And Winter in the air.

I currently live in Texas, where it's been over 100 for the past week and the streak's going to continue a little while longer. The four seasons here are hot&dry, hot&rainy, cool&dry and cool&rainy. The leaves never change colors.
If you can't tell, I desperately miss fall (and not just because of football - although that's a huge plus). I miss the cool crisp weather, the beautiful colors of the leaves, the smells, everything about it.
So Jay, wanna trade your fall for my hot&dry?
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
I lived in Texas for six months. Two at Fort Hood and four at Fort Sam. I loved the weather. And it was summer. So yes! We can trade.

I am in southern Georgia this fall for school and I am really missing fall. Back in Indiana fall is absolutely beautiful. The leaves are such vivid colors. At the beginning the temperature is perfect. It is still hot as heck down here.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Jay, What's wrong with your eyes?!! Are you color blind or something? Here in the Rocky Mountains, I think fall is the absolutely most beautiful time of year. The yellow aspen leaves and red maple leaves give a stark contrast to the deep green firs and pines and the brilliant blue sky. I love to lie in dry meadow in the fall listen for elk bugles and coyote howls. I can watch flocks of geese wing their way over head. If I'm lucky, I may catch a hundred Sandhill cranes migrating south or perhaps pelicans or swans. Fall is absolute magic.

Allegra, it's cold, rainy, and there are nasty walnuts, and their leaves all over my yard, I'll come tan at your place anytime.

oh and some warm soup
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
You want beautiful, it’s in the spring. The vibrant greens and the new life and warm weather. Ahhhhh….. now that’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Rabbit, you live in Utah? Is this a new thing? If not, why haven't you come to any Utah clump gatherings?
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
You clearly don't live in the mountains. Spring here is dominated by slush and mud. The vibrant greens and new life don't really get started until June.

Warm weather? In Spring? You don't live in Wisconsin. Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Or Ithaca, NY
Posted by Allegra (Member # 6773) on :
It would only be $230 or so. Maybe you could hold a big car wash to raise funds. We have soup here too.

I've been in Utah for 5 years now. You always hold clump gatherings when I'm out of town or otherwise occupied. I lead a fairly hectic life.
Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
I love fall... it's when all the plants and trees around here begin to turn green again.
Plus, there is something comfortable about being warm, and knowing it's going to get cooler (rather than being warm, and knowing you're going to broil in a few months.)
Posted by ambyr (Member # 7616) on :
I just hate the shortening days. . .can't wait till Spring equinox. Yes, Fall is beautiful, but like so many people I wake up before the sun rises and get home after it sets. Doesn't leave a lot of time to admire it :-(.
Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
Fall is great. It's when the temperature here finally starts dipping below 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
That's right! Less daylight. Another reason to hate fall! I knew it!!!! Now if I can only get that into the song........

Try living in south Louisiana sometime. A few years here might change your opinion on heat.
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
Fall is my favorite time of the year. The coming of Halloween, that most mighty of holy days. I love the cool air and the falling leaves...and the change you feel...like just before a thunderstorm.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I like fall and winter personally, because it gets colder. It's easier to combat the cold (more layers and what not) than it is to combat the heat. Too bad it's fall here and it's still in the upper 90's (exceeding 100 on some days). Stupid Texas weather.
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
Mmmm... I'm in southeast Michigan and it's a lovely 68 degrees out. Mmmmmm.. I love it.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
I like fall. Very pretty. For an ugly season in the midwest, I'd have to pick late winter/early spring: The period when the snow (or most of it) has melted but the plants aren't getting green yet. Everything is nasty brown, dead and muddy.
Oh, and less daylight is a plus in my book. We hates the yellow face, it burns us!

Walnuts are not nasty. I love fall, and the thing I most miss from the fall in my childhood is walnut harvest, which we used to do as a family when my grandma had several acres of walnut trees. After we moved into a tract house, we still had three walnut trees in our back yard, and we harvested and sold those.
I've really got to find some walnuts to eat now. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
I adore fall, especially in a place where the changing of the leaves is a dramatic event. It's not so dramatic here in Portland because the leaves change slowly over the course of 3 months, but when I lived in Chicago and Utah.....mmm. I loved it. Posted by Miriya (Member # 7822) on :
I love fall. The changing leaves are beautiful. The humidity goes away. The weather is just about perfect... and I can still pretend I won't be shovelling snow in a few months. Posted by Avatar300 (Member # 5108) on :

You might not say that if you lived in the North. I live in Minnesota, and I feel exactly the opposite.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I guess. I still find it unbearable here where it's 100 outside and I have no A/C. Heck I can remove all my clothes and I'll still be just as hot as I was. At least when it's cold outside, I can put on more layers if I can't turn the heat on.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Autumn . . . that's when the leaves turn colors on some of the trees, and the temperature drops down into the low 70s, right?
Posted by Coccinelle (Member # 5832) on :
I love fall. The trees turn colors and the weather gets cool. The wind blows and hot chocolate is the perfect drink. Someday, it might be like that here...
Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :
I agree with Belle. Fall is a great time for hiking. Although, I prefer backpacking.
Other than that I still fail to find anything wrong with Fall. I missed my seasons when I was in SoCal. Except the rainy one that is.
Posted by The Reader (Member # 3636) on :
All of the seasons are great, but fall is perfect, especially the early part here in Ohio. September and October are great months. The air is dry, the sky is clear, and the days have the perfect temperature, even when it gets in the mid 50's, because crisp air is great. I am looking out my window now and I can see a huge blue sky with almost no haze.
I lived in South Carolina for a few years. Autumn does not exist there. It goes from hot and humid to cool and humid. I prefer it here.
Enjoy the weather, Jay. You can't do much about it.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
walnuts would not be nasty if they didn't have the hull outside the shell that turns black and makes spots on our house and porch, they taste just fine if you can get to them. *black walnuts not english ones.

Autumn makes me think of chilly friday nights at the football game with the rest of the marching band, enjoying the harvest moon and flirting with other geeks.
