Freddy's Fussbudget

Travis Sharp

It's getting to that time.  Leaves are turning colors, days are feeling longer, and such.  This means fall is here and in full form.  Even though this season is a wonderful and beautiful one, I still have to complain.  Though these things tend to annoy me, I still have to show how much I enjoy them as part of life.

Weather: The weather goes bad around this time of the year.  Things tend to lose their color, it becomes colder, and I still have to go outside.  If I wanted colder temperatures, I would have gone to Antarctica, I want to enjoy the nice temperatures for a while longer before having to see snow again.  Besides, I enjoy not melting from the heat, but not turning into an icicle from the cold.  This type of weather only stays for a little bit of time, but I tend to enjoy it a lot.

Leaves: Cleaning up the leaves from when the trees shed them is horrible.  Cleaning them up is always a pain and is a job that is unpopular with many, including me.  We spend so much time going out and raking up the leaves that fall from our trees and our neighbors' trees around us.  This tends to be a pain after a while, when you lose the motivation you had to rake the leaves up in the first place.  I have no solution to this problem, but it's a pain, right?

Snow: Not only is it cold, but we have to shovel it off of our driveways after a large snowstorm hits.  This means backaches, annoyance, and boredom.  I guess snow is fun for a few things, but usually it's a bother. I guess one of the worst parts of it is how the snow melts and makes your clothes soaked.  

Sure, these things are small annoyances, but I guess this is what makes life.  Challenges.  People may disagree with me, but who cares.  It's just one person complaining about things.

A bit of positive? We have a couple of days off soon!
