I think it is a combination of the back to school mindset and the need to find things to do in a nice, warm house. Whatever it is that causes the boost I "ride the wave" as far as possible!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823616282284779390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-76394855568375032872009-10-12T16:48:17.737-04:002009-10-12T16:48:17.737-04:00I, too, feel the urge to write amped up this time ...I, too, feel the urge to write amped up this time of year. Now, however, after reading your post, I have too much guilt about not getting my garden in before the first snowfall. I think there's still time to dig up the potatoes, though. And your house? Much too clean. Lower the bar, please. ;PJessica Loureyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157662092822156124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-60151986609966854912009-10-12T13:18:57.020-04:002009-10-12T13:18:57.020-04:00Fall also strikes me as a beginning rather than an...Fall also strikes me as a beginning rather than an ending, full of potential. I remember always feeling hopeful as the new school year started. And for those with children, it's definitely a bonus to get those hours back during the day, eh?<br /><br />Sue Ann, you're welcome to come curl up in my kitchen any time you want. ; - )Cricket McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786996969148417569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-67529623708631602592009-10-12T11:52:15.191-04:002009-10-12T11:52:15.191-04:00I think of the fall as a time of new beginnings.

Summer--relaxation, vacation, contemplation--is over and it's time to buckle down, just like all those Septembers as a kid, starting a new school year.<br /><br />Plus, as Lisa and Elizabeth said, the kids are back in school and the house is quiet.Alan Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695574442723430347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-76704951330232570142009-10-12T11:51:49.087-04:002009-10-12T11:51:49.087-04:00Cricket - This is one of the most beautifully writ...Cricket - This is one of the most beautifully written posts I've ever read. It makes me want to curl up in a corner of your warm, comfy kitchen and purr.<br /><br />"And the urge to write rides under my skin, a constant itch." This phrase alone is worth a bushel of golden apples.<br /><br />And in response to your question: Yes, I find myself even more itching to write this time of year. Maybe it's my New England roots, or perhaps the years of going back to school in the fall. I don't know. But I don't fight the urge to flee my computer as much in the fall.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-57550673360380352192009-10-12T11:49:56.994-04:002009-10-12T11:49:56.994-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515718534382576884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-81898024096074827102009-10-12T09:15:19.341-04:002009-10-12T09:15:19.341-04:00I'm like Lisa--the kids are back at school and...I'm like Lisa--the kids are back at school and it's time to buckle down.
