Autumn

That feeling you get when the days are long and warm but a wind whispers a change is coming. That’s what I’m talking about. As each day progresses days get shorter and the plants and trees know it. They smile and begin to blush before resting for the winter. I especially enjoy cool mornings and rain followed by the clearing of the grey, blue Skys - sunshine and steam rise off the asphalt taking its place. Harvesting the late summer bounty from the fields and carrying it to the kitchen for fall feasts is what I’m talking about. Family traditions come again and the holidays unfold like a fresh pair of pajamas.
