The Fall Gal
It’s finally perfect weather outside. God. I love Fall. I was thinking about all of the wonderful aspects of this most valuable time of year when I remembered something exceptional that contains “Fall” in the title. Do you remember when the 6 Million Dollar Man became Colt Seavers, a stunt man who was also a bounty hunter? One of the best parts of the show, nostalgically speaking, is the theme song. Please. If you remember, do yourself a favor and Google, “The Fall Guy theme song”. It will make you shake your head in shame, yet smile.
What was it about the 70’s and 80’s that made ridiculous and outlandish television cultural touchstones? CHiPS, The Land of the Lost, The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard, Three’s Company. If I catch a rerun of these, sometimes I’ll watch. And the shows just aren’t that good. Ok. CHiPS and The Incredible Hulk are pretty good, but Three’s Company? Come on. That show sucks. Oh, I STILL wish there was a Regal Beagle in my neighborhood, but seriously, the plots for that show? Lame. Any show with, “Nah Nah Nah Nah ay Boo” in the theme is bound to miss the mark of intellectual stimulation.
Back to Fall. Whiskey and Coke. Football. Open Windows. Cool enough to stand out by the grill. Long sleeves. Orange leaves and crisp air. There just isn’t much better than this. Right now it’s 71 degrees, which is almost my perfect temperature, and I’m about to begin my epic fall cleaning. It’s going to be a long day, but a good day.
This season always makes me think of Led Zeppelin’s Ramble On. It’s my unofficial Autumn theme. I’m going to dust off my Zep CD and get to work. That music will make cleaning see less like a chore and more like a pleasure.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
What about you? Do you have Fall rituals or memories related to this time of year that only come around when the days begin to get shorter and the humidity leaves? Do you too get a sense of Euphoria this time of year?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Fall is THE season. The fun starts at Labor Day and doesn’t end until New Year’s Day. The ‘chick’s birthday is in the fall. Halloween is in the fall. Football is in the fall.
Going to the State Fair is a mandatory fall activity. So is going to the mountains for the ‘chick’s birthday.
Cleaning? Eh, not so much.

I’m more of a Summer girl. Although I do like the beginning of Fall when it’s 80 degrees without humidity. It just turns too cold too fast in Iowa.
I like to make soup and chili in the Fall. It’s always all about food with me.

fall is my favorite season. makes me ridiculously happy. love the weather, the smells, the football. it don’t get much better than this.
horseback riding in the fall is my favorite. sure, i’ll go anytime i can, but something about autumn riding is magical.
this morning i woke up and it was 64 degrees in my house. i had slept with several windows and the sliding glass door open. loved it. my dogs did as well. anywhere between 60 and 70 is frikken fantastic in my book. but i have no cleaning ritual. not for any time of the year! yuck. if anyone has a huge urge to nest or whatever, feel free to try & tackle my little house. (please!)
churlita, i’m with you about the chili & soups, with the exception that i have no problem enjoying them all year long. it could be 90 degrees outside and i would still enjoy a good bowl of chili. with cheese. mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Ahhhh Fall, usually when fall rolls around I have just returned from some long, lazy trip. My liver hurts and I have to find a new job, so it is a mixed blessing.
