Hobbes loves the fall. He likes the cool days, the smell of leaves, the colors. Calvin says autumn is melancholy. Summer is over in a week or two, and things will hunker down for a long winter. Nothing lasts. He says fall is a last fling before things get worse. Hobbes asks if they' appreciate how precious things are if they lasted forever. Calvin likes to have everything so good, so he can take it all for granted.

I love fall. I like the cool days, the smell of leaves, the low sunlight...and the sky looks even more blue when the trees are yellow and red! I dunno...I think autumn is melancholy. Summer if over an ina week or two, everything will be hankered down for the long bleak winter. Nothing lasts, fall is just the last fling before things get worse. If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are? I like to have everything so good. I can take it all for granted. I think the brisk air makes apple pie taste better too! Mm-mm!
