Fall is my favorite season. I'm npt into it like a fad, but I always like the pile of leaves, the mild but cool climate, costumes, a pot of stew, and a bonfire.
Maybe it also used to signify the beginning of the school year: a fresh start.
There was a creek near in my neighborhood where I grew up that had a hilltop that had a view of the whole neighborhood. I'd stay there for hours - sometimes a fox or deer would pass by.
Once upon a time, I had friends or siblings to throw around a football, throw a frisbee, or shoot hoops on a day like this.
What is nice is that Maryland has had some serious climate issues for the past 8-12 years, so I think the pandemic has slowed down all this climate change imo and we're actually have real fall weather (not this hot, humid mess until mid November, then it gets cold, then 90s degrees in mid December).
Fall can be nice. Also that slight hint of melancholy and sentimentality when it gets kind of cold and the sky gets kind of pale and the leaves fall down.
