There are these places, you know? Yeah, you know. Trust me, you do. There are these places that we just don't forget. Places that aren't just a location, but a time, and during that time, everything is golden. When I was a kid, it seemed like the summer was so long. I remember little pieces of my childhood summers, playing in the fields of California, the yellow sunlight on our piano as it made it's way through the sliding glass door of our house. Lemonade, bikes. Summer is over, though, and now it's time for Fall. I love Autumn. There is really no other season like it, when the whole world is turning golden, orange, yellow. For about one week in Mena, there is a time when every single tree in the Ouachita national forest is on fire with color, and that's when I would go up the mountain. Up there I'd sit and just look, because that's when God does some of his best landscapes. Autumn is always one of those times like my childhood summers. I remember snapshots of almost every one, and the memories are some of my best. Last year, I dressed as a knight in cardboard armor for Halloween. Me, Dan, and my friend Carl had a blast at the art department party that got shut down twice by the police. I took money at the door in my full plate mail, Dan worked the crowd, and Carl floated in between. my friends and I go on a special hayride every year, and each time the stars are all out. We pile into an enormous trailor with no roof, on top of a big pile of straw, and sit there singing and huddling for warmpth under a million blankets. The ride lasts just long enough so that we don't freeze to death, and we like it that way. When the leaves fall, I watch carefully every time. I've always hoped that someday I'll be walking along, and one leaf will fall off of a tree and land in my hand, without me moving to catch it. I don't know what I'd do with the leaf, probably keep it, I'm a packrat that way. I love the way breath looks in the cold. I love kicking fallen leaves. Walking through campus in the fall is wonderful because I never did walk on sidewalks too often. They're not as fun and they never take me where I want to go, so I go on the grass, and that's where the leaves are. Everyone hugs more when it's cold. There are no bugs, praise the Lord! Thanksgiving. My parents are going to come up here for Thanksgiving and cook for my brother and me and everyone else who doesn't get to go home for the holidays. It's really great to spend Thanksgiving with my friends, and to give them one when they would usually eat in the cafeteria. I love Autumn. It's a thoughtful time, and an exciting time. The quiet of winter is just starting to replace the noise of summer, the chill is taking the place of the heat. Autumn makes me feel good, and alive. Like a cool drink of water. It's Autumn in my heart right now, and that's good, because it's been a long summer. TimChose [
