Last night (Thursday the 29th) I was watching the boys wrap up practice for the week and something amazing happened. I actually caught a chill. Anyone who knows me I am not often cold so it was nice to finally feel fall weather coming in. It also stirred something deep inside me and I thought I would share.
For as long as I can remember until I joined the "real world" I was involved in sports. Football has long been a passion of mine and watching my son really made me miss my time on the field. If you have never played its hard to really express the feeling of being part of brotherhood. I'm not suggesting that other sports don't share similar qualities but football was always special to me. I can remember the smell of the grass, the coolness in the air, and the intensity on the field. I was so happy when Andrew decided he wanted to play ball and hope he can enjoy as much as I did.
Fall weather for me also means the return of hunting season. My brothers and I have not had a lot of time together since I moved from home, but something about Deer season changes that. It seems funny really because we go set in the woods and don't speak a word but those are some of the greatest and most memorable times together.
Please feel free to share what you enjoy most about the changing seasons.
