Late summer to December 31 is my favorite time of the year.
It starts out with lazy afternoons with the family, swims in the bathwater lakes, and last ditch efforts to have legendary stories from the summer.
It continues on with those first four weeks of school where you're excited about what you're doing. Academia is never as inspiring as it is in September. With school comes college football. Football, family, friends, and a large pot of home-grown sweet corn is as close to heaven as you can get.
Around October, the trees turn yellow, brown, and orange, the moon starts getting fuzzy, and the nights get cold. Friends get a little closer, football gets more serious, and days get shorter.
Halloween comes with its costumes, November brings its turkey. The family eats too much, sits on the couch and catches up with each other, while the pumpkin pie waits.
Christmas frenzy turns into Christmas contemplation which turns into good Christian faith. Then you get to New Years, ending the year with a bang.
And it all starts now.
