The leaves are changing from green to brown...

Well, it's that time of the year again, where I give up all hope that summer might still come back. The leaves are starting to fall off the trees, and I'm just glad that they waited until the end of summer to start their taunting. It's not so much that I don't like fall; it's beautiful, especially here at Doane. I just don't like the idea that winter will follow shortly. I hate being cold. I would much rather lie on the grass or go swimming than have a snowball fight or make a snowman or drink hot chocolate or any of that stuff. While I'll admit that Doane winters are some of the most beautiful I've seen and that does make up for how cold it gets, at least a little, they still can't compare to the freedom of summer. What can you do, though, really? I'll just have to pull out my winter coat, or maybe get a cute new one and make the most of it. It's like they say: everyone talks of the weather, no one does a thing about it.
