What’s your favorite time of the year? I like different seasons for different reasons. But my favorite season is fall.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my dad and his folks on their farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. In summer, I would swim in the creek (小溪

), chase lightning bugs (螢火蟲) and go fishing with my dad. In winter, I’d spend hours sliding on a hill and throwing snowballs at cows, and then come inside to warm my feet by the fire. In spring, my grandmother and I would go hunting for trees, herbs (藥草) and wildflowers. In fall, the weather was usually perfect, warm enough to play in the creek by day, cold enough at night to cozily curl up and listen while my grandmother or my dad told me stories.

But my best fall memory begins with rain when I was 6. We drove to the farm in a light rain. The next day, when the clouds parted, I went out to see a sight I will never forget. I yelled and my grandmother came running.

“Look!” I shouted, pointing at what looked to me like flames. “The mountains are on fire!”

She looked. Then she laughed.

“That’s not fire, child,” she said. “That’s just fall.”
