I absolutely LOVE Autumn! The cool days. Being able to work outside without immediately breaking into a sweat like all summer. Sweatshirt weather, less pesty flies for the livestock, GREAT horse back riding weather, holidays coming, soon, a fire in the fireplace… I love it all! Here comes the BUT!
Since I’ve been working bankers’ hour the last 2 years the Fall Back time change is definitely not my favorite. While morning walks on work days have been done in the dark in recent weeks and can now be done in semi day light I know that is only short lived. We still have another month and a half of days growing shorter, so soon my morning walks will again take place in the darkness.
Not that that is a big deal. I know the route around the pasture and have 3 loving dogs to protect me from what goes bump in the darkness 😉
Evening on work days will be the worst! I will watch the sun go down from my work station and drive home in the dark. Making evening walks happen in the dark too.
The best thing on those dark evenings will be coming home on cold days to a fire in the fireplace keeping the house toasty warm.
I tend to want to hibernate when it gets dark early. But with Christmas on the way I will need to stay awake and work on Christmas gifs I have in the works. (Photos will come in a later post)
To count my blessings, I have a good job with wonderful people and luckily our work schedule is 4 1/2 days a week. That gives me 2 full days off and one half day to enjoy my time out doors. I could be 5 dark evenings, so for that I am very thankful.
Yes Autumn, I love you! But can’t we have you in the Spring?
