Seasons

I updated my question on my poll. I had a measly 5 people respond to the last one about the Olympics, 2 of the votes coming from Ryan and my dad. So to the other 3 people that read my blog, thank you for your vote. (Who knows, Ryan could have voted all the other times too). Anyway, I changed my question to see what season is the most popular. I personally LOVE fall! Its hard not to think of the different seasons when you constantly see decorations, clothes, outdoor furniture changing to accommodate the upcoming seasons. I mean, when the pools open in May, you start to see Christmas stuff at Hobby Lobby, or when its freezing outside you start to see pool toys and outdoor furniture being displayed everywhere you look. I understand why they put things out so early, but its hard to wrap your mind around Christmas trees and hot cocoa when your on your way to the pool. I was at Hobby Lobby today and was smelling the pumpkin candles and looking at all the "harvest" decorations and can't wait till the fall. It seems to me, that stores try to market the holidays too early, they try to "rush" to the next season by putting stuff out several months in advance. To me, life goes by so quickly and if you're constantly reminded of whats coming in a few months, you long for that time and not the here and now. I don't know, maybe I'm not making much sense. Although I love fall, the changing leaves, to cool, crisp weather, the colors of that season, I still am enjoying August (what's left of it) and will do the "fall thing" when the time comes.
