  Things I love about Autumn

  • Marching band shows
  • Crisp, cool air
  • Wind blowing through the tops of the trees
  • Mums
  • The smell of leaves burning
  • Children pouncing into piles of leaves
  • The first scents of fireplaces burning
  • Hot cocoa in a stadium while waiting for the half time, marching band show or watching the marching bands play at an invitational competition
  • Warm clothing in the autumn colors that I love
  • Halloween
  • Thanksgiving dinner, even though I live far away from my family
  • Cozy nights inside, bundled up in my robe and slippers
  • Sleeping with the window open

  But winter should not last more than three months. I prefer Mediterranean weather like in Italy or Croatia, with a lot of sun, dry summer, moist spring and short, snowy winter.

  I don't like long winters. I especially do not like black ice on parking lots, sidewalks and on roads. I don't like cleaning snow off my car: ice is even worse. I hate that I must get bundled up and wear shoes to go outside. Going for a quick trip to the store is a pain.

  I was born on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. I lived in Mobile, AL until I was almost seven. Then we moved down to Morgan City, LA, where I lived until the summer I was 11. I love the bright sunshine on the Gulf, but not the very humid heat of summer. I lived in Hawaii, which has beautiful weather, all year long. They have bright sun like the coast. They say they have two seasons, Summer and Winter. There is no autumn or spring. Winter time it got down to 62 Fahrenheit. Not very cold! But they wear light jackets in "winter."

  We must accept this reality and solve our own problems through our own efforts.

  Sounds to me like the doctor did just that. He accepted the vaccine twice.

  so I have a shot at life?

  But mini, you are deliberately sinning. If faithful JWs aren't going to be resurrected for things like not showing up to clean the Kingom Hall or going to a different convention than the one they are assigned to, then how the heck does your ma figure you will get a resurrection? I mean, you are an apostate. That and I am pretty sure from your posts that you are a big ole fornicator.

  FHN, I would be very depressed living in Michigan due very cold weather.

  The winters are gorgeous though. And the summers? They are so pleasant. You can enjoy being outside, usually for the entire day. And in summertime, the sunset comes at 10:00 PM. The spring is much later here than in Georgia, but the springs are lovely.

  Cooler weather starts in September.

  I miss so many of the trees and flowers from the south though: honeysuckle scent in the air, wisteria climbing all over everything, mimosa trees with their pink "fairy broom" flowers, gardenia bushes, magnolia trees...

  There are a lot of plusses here in West Michigan, though. Sadly, my rent has been raised so sky high, I think I'm going to be priced out of Michigan, literally.

  I think the real divide is thinkers vs non-thinkers ...

  Everyone thinks. The question is how much complex thought does a person put into something. Some people have stronger high order thinking skills than others do.

  A few questions for believers

  when confronted with all of the inconsistencies and atrocities of the bible, many believers invariably claim that they don't base their faith in christ on what's written in the bible.

  so what is the basis then, if not scripture?.

  and please don't tell me "the lord has revealed himself to me".

  Another Autumn song, a classic Autumn Leaves, covered here by Andrea Bocelli with his Fiancee "Les Feuilles Mortes' (Autumn Leaves)"
