My Autumn Sense

This was a fun quiz to take, but also a little difficult because I could have chosen not only the answer I eventually did, but one or two others as well. I don't really associate too many sounds with fall except for the roar of the crowd and the band and loudspeaker noise from the nearby h.s. football stadium on autumn Friday nights.  If there had been a question about the sound of geese and cranes migrating back south to their winter grounds, it might have swayed it to sense of sound. That sound always makes me a little melancholy, knowing that winter isn't too far behind the high-flying migratory fowl...and wishing I could fly south with them. (although I'd have to take Southwest Airlines!) 

The results are probably correct for me, though, because I most associate Halloween and Thanksgiving with eating...even though these days I don't eat anything special on those holidays as I used to do, especially when my mom was alive.  Now it's just a few dollar store marked down candy bars the day after Halloween and a turkey and dressing TV dinner while I watch the football games on Thanksgiving.

And that's another thing that made it a little difficult for me. My mom passed away nine yrs. ago this week. -sigh-  I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't thought of her at least once.

Your Autumn Sense is Taste

It's pretty simple... you love fall because it's the most delicious time of the year.

From Halloween candy to Thanksgiving leftovers, there's always a culinary treat right around the corner for you.

You also enjoy the smaller seasonal foods of fall - a pumpkin latte, apple crisp, or butternut squash soup.


You wait all year for your fall food favorites to return, and you're going to savor every single one of them!

You are a keen appreciator of beauty, and you believe there is no more beautiful season than the fall.
Like everyone else, you love the sight of changing leaves. However, unlike everyone else, you notice every color, shape, and pattern.

You love people watching in the fall. Whether you're checking out fall fashions or Halloween costumes, you like to see people dressing for the season.
Whether you're in the city or the country, this time of year gives you plenty to look at.

I always wanted to say I'm the same about May. My Mother's b/d and Mother's day. just still feels like her time. I miss Her. She liked to read, garden, plant trees. My G'pa homesteaded the farm, but Mother planted nearly every tree on it. when they first moved there, there was not one single tree or flower.
