Why I don't like the fall season

There's a lot of people that love the fall for the crisp air, walks in the woods, ... I don't understand them at all! I can see that the fall is not all bad, I never look forward to the transition of summer to fall for the following reasons:

• It's really cold in the mornings, but can still warm up in the afternoon. It makes dressing choices impossible!


• Summer festival season is over. Huh already? where did time fly? I still wanted to go to so many places this summer!


• Invitations for BBQs at friend's places stop.
• Breakfasts in pyama in the garden stop.


• The calm days for students and teachers are over. Their stress starts building up.
• It's getting crowded again in the gym.


• My toes need to get locked up in closed shoes again while all my nice heeled sandals are boring themselves in the closet


• The variety of summer fruits have gone. I prefer fresh strawberries, cherries, melons, ... to apples and pears.


• I can't eat gazpacho anymore. Pumpkin soup can only partially make up for that.


• The first times you wear wollen sweaters they sting like crazy. Makes my neck itchy and it drives me nuts.


• It's getting darker again in the evenings. It's getting darker in the mornings.


• The fall brings a lot more rain and foggy days. And the roads are slippery with wet leaves.


• It gets too cold to go diving in Belgium.


• Fashion in winter is less colorful than summer fashion.


• Wearing jeans and corderoy pants is not as much fun as wearing shorts, tops, skirts, ...


• It takes longer to get dressed (or changed in the sportscenter) as you need to put on a lot more layers of clothes than in summer! It also results in much more laundry to do.


• The office doesn't turn the heating on before October, which is truly too late.


• The true fun winter days cuddling at the fire place after a long winter walk in the freezing sun are not there yet.


• Summer vacation trips are in the past...winter vacation trips still seem so far away.


• Fall is the season in which we celebrate All Saints Day and All Soul's day on which we visit cemetaries.


• In Fall the traffic jams have lenghtened dramatically after a nice smooth summer.


• Whenever I go and take my bike out of the garden, I surely walk with my face into a spiderweb.


• It's not cold enough to have killed all mosquitos


• There's only 2 public holidays in fall.
  
• ....

Well what I wanted to say: I always have a hard time to accept the fact that summer is over (especially if it never truly started!) and the transition to winter. From all seasons fall is my least favorite by far. Blèh, another year before it'll be summer. Sigh.
