Yay!  Fall is here!  Or is it?In China some seasons are very intimidated by others.  Seasons like Fall and Spring are very shy, and no matter how much we compliment them, they refuse to stay around more that a few weeks.  Summer and Winter drag on with their extreme stuffy heat or frigid cold weather.  Here, you would know when Spring has made it’s prized visit, when green leaves start to unfold giving you a happy sense of new life.  But this beauty is short-lived, soon dust layers itself over the new leaves, giving them a new brownish coat.This being my second Fall in China I have observed two things.1. Being in China there are not many things to get you in the Fall-ish mood, such as a fully stocked candy aisles in the grocery store, or new cute fall fashion sections in  my favorite clothes stores (Gap, Old Navy, American Eagle, etc.)2.  Because of the lack of Fall spirit in the local people, when there is a hint of a chill in the air, you get the urge to whip out the winter clothes, make jack-o-lanterns, eat candy corn and caramel apples, make apple cider, etc. !!!So as you can guess I was ecstatic that Fall was here!  This year we did get to make caramel apples and eat candy-corn (which is a big thing because coveted items such as caramel and candy corn is more expensive because it is imported)!!!  Sadly, Winter is already pushing Fall out of the way it seems.  The temperature this morning was a chilly 39, and we are expecting a freeze tonight.  After this cold weekend I fear Fall will not return.Is this the last I’ll see of Fall’s cool crisp weather until next year?
