The Autumnal Exquinox arrives when the Sun enters Libra (That's Me!) On Sunday, September 23rd... and already I've recieved my first invite to a beer tasting party... It's going to be incredible as always, with very good food music and prizes, and mainly- The good friends that I haven't seen since March... I still enjoy the Food and Beverage perks that come my way very much, and Guinness really knows how to throw a party! :) The will be plenty other parties, like Johnnie Walker and The Single Malt Society (Can't wait to visit Scotland)... My relationship with Summer weather has become soured- what with all the hot weather, mean people and rising utility costs... My heartbeat quickens with the approach of Autumn, and my Birthmonth of October! For me, my Natural energy rises and well as my more Romantic aspects... I really, literally, LOVE cool weather! :) Do you guys miss the Summer, and dread the coming of Autumn? Some people do, I know- but I'm not one of them... Does the changing season really affect the way you feel?

I do regret the onset of Fall not so much because of the season itself but the fact that Winter will soon follow which I hate immensely. I am one of those people that become real depressed when I don't receive enough sunlight.The days here in the northern hemisphere become quite short. I've never been involved in any particular special outdoor activities in the Winter season so basically I'm indoors throughout the cold season.

I really enjoy Autumn, and the moderate temperatures, and interesting leaves, and fall festivals that we have here. I just hope winter is short and sweet,nice and concise. I want beautiful white fluffy snow when it comes, then I want it to miraculously vanish. I want my full share of fall first, though. I love the smell of sycamore leaves, and I love sleeping with the windows open and snuggling my honey.

The change in season definitely affect my moods and life in general. I am in India and here we don’t have the fall as such but autumn is a very important season for us coz throughout India, the festive season begins with gusto during this time. end of September beginning of October, the various states start having their own religions festivals extending upto weeks with lots of fun and food thrown in. this extends throughout November and ends practically with the New Year (though India is a land where festivals don’t end really). Inspite of this, I somehow don’t like autumn. It heralds the beginning of winter, a season I personally dislike. End of October is usually the time our (Bengalis’) greatest festival Durga Puja gets over. After about months of build-up and week of actual festivity and dressing-up, you should see how empty the streets look once the festival gets over. Its kind of symbolic with autumn, the season that ushers in winter. The way the leaves start falling, the sunlight starts receding, its suddenly dusk too soon, the cold in the air…it all makes me feel very sad. Its kind of getting old you know, I feel as if my day is coming to an end, I become very sad during this transitional phase. Once winter sets in and I get habituated, then of course things begin to look up and then there is the promise of spring coming too!

Hello,peaceful! I like autumn the best among the four seasons and I especially like the sunshine of autumn. In the place I live the weather is always very sunny in autumn. The sunshine is warm, clean and exciting! At this time I am enjoying it! Today is so sunny that through the window of my working room I can see the trees and gloriettes on the mountain clearly! How wonderful! Autumn is also a harvest season.My home locates in a peaceful village.At this time of year, people are busy harvesting plants with high spirit. The air if full of fragrance of the sunshine and plant!

I love Autumn, it's my favorite season. Each summer, I look forward to the upcoming change in the weather. I love the frost, the leaves crunching under my feet, the smells and beautiful colors. Hay rides and trick-or-treating are some of my family's favorite pastimes. Unfortunately, Fall does not love me in return. Each year, I am tormented terribly by fall allergies. Molds and ragweed are so abundant in my area this time of year that I take large quantities of allergy medications in an effort to still enjoy the fun that Autumn has to offer.

Well yeah I would miss summer but autumn is nice to.Also it really depends on weather.I like sunny autumn, not much rain.I live all the color in the nature, but not on the people, while they are dressing to dark when autumn show up.It feels somtimes depressive.
