FALL-ing in love

Just a quick note (on this glorious fall season) from Glasgow. I have lived now for 20 years, so I have experienced my fair share of fall days (not as many as some), however none quite as fantastic as those here in Glasgow (I am sure there will be some that aren’t as fantastic but I don’t want to write about that). All of the days are the fall days we expect when we wake up in the morning. Like those fall days back home in Colorado, where the weather is crisp and there is just a slight mist in the air when you wake up. But those fall days disappear in a matter of hours, there is something here that keeps fall hanging around all day (and it is truly lovely). The leaves stay crunchy, and you can literally see all of the colours in a single leaf on any tree, from the green to the yellow (ahh!!) and finally the red. The wind is light enough to just rustle those leaves, and when you walk through the parks the leaves on the ground start floating around you like you are in a mystical wonderland. The sky stays cloudy, but it’s a light cloud that you know may or may not open to reveal the blue sky beyond you just have to sit and watch it. Finally the mornings really are misty, you walk outside and can feel the water on your skin, in the air, just floating everywhere, but it isn’t quite the rainy day (not yet). I know I may be writing this prematurely but I have never experienced a fall that is so perfect, it’s a fall I have only ever dreamed of, a fall where every day is exactly how I expect fall to be.

I wasn’t expecting to write to everybody today, but I just thought you needed to know that if you are a fall spring person (as I am) then you need to see the fantastic weather here in the fall (I don’t know about the spring). It’s been like breathing in a dream, and then you realize it’s the truth. I have a few pictures of today that don’t do anything to capture the essence of the weather or the day really, hopefully though you will get a chance to see a perfect fall.
