Fall

There's not really much going on that would make me believe fall is on the way, besides the weather getting a tad bit cooler, but that's only during the early morning. Other than that, the weather is still pretty hot to me, or maybe that is just because I have no AC in my car, and I'm riding in a black car with black leather seats. The leaves are not changing colors, but I wouldn't expect them to until a little later. But being in Montgomery, Alabama, the leaves don't really change color anyway, which is one of my favorite things about Fall. I miss when I used to live in Virginia how all of the leaves on every tree would change color. The weather would be cool and breezy and put everyone in the mood to celebrate. As October rolled around, people would start getting ready to decorate for Halloween. You would see pumpkins everywhere and hay-bells in front yards with scarecrows to accompany them. Since I have lived in Montgomery though, people don't really seem too big on celebrating, but I guess that is because you don't really get to "experience" Fall here. Just like winter. It never really snows here, and if it does, it isn't much and the snow only sticks for 2 days at the most. Sure you get the cold weather and the dead trees with your occasional snow flurry, but not the whole "winter experience." When I lived in Virginia, I got to experience my first snow. We woke up one morning to find 3 feet of snow waiting for us to go out and play in. The snow was so deep that we had to dig out paths for our dogs so that they could go outside to do their "business." The snow lasted a good while too. It was so much fun to have our own little winter wonderland right outside of our house. When I graduate college, I plan on moving up closer North, which I hate to say, because for the most part I have lived in the South all of my life. I'm proud to be Southern, so I do not plan on going too far North. I'm thinking about moving to North Carolina. There is also an amazing wildlife center there that I plan to try and work at, since I am majoring in Biology, and later planning to transfer to main campus and and major in Zoology. I think it would be a lot of fun to have a job where I can to work outside, especially during my favorite season-Fall.
