Things I Love About Kansas


Yes, I do have a few. Fall being one of them! I miss fall in my neck of the South, where the trees suddenly seem to pop with the sedate but glorious colors of fall. But fall in the South is usually over entirely too quickly, like a quick gasp of "ahhh" before the flames of summer are extinguished by the nagging damp of winter that makes even young bones ache.

But fall in Kansas (at least, so far) is a season long enough to be enjoyed. This weekend, for example, was beautiful. Crisp, cool air in the mornings that warmed to purely pleasant afternoon temperatures. And, since it's Kansas, there's always a breeze! My 4-year-old and I spent most of our time outside this weekend. The weather was too pretty to spend the whole day running errands and doing chores (which is what usually consumes our weekends), so I let a few things slide so we could enjoy this lovely Kansas fall weather. I know it will eventually give way to a Kansas winter (snow, ug), but today is too pretty to worry about what tomorrow may hold.
