My Favorite Season

Fall is here! I love the parade of blue skies contrasted against the vibrant colors of the changing leaves, and the crunch of the leaves underfoot. I love the cooler days and nights when I can snuggle into my favorite sweater and feel cozy.

Blustery days are great with the sounds of the leaves rustling more and scritching across streets and sidewalks. The smell of burning leaves and wood bring on childhood memories aglow with screaming laughter and quiet fun.

I love the anticipation of the first frost, Halloween and ghost stories ripe in the darkening evenings, the first snowfall and hot drinks next to a pretty fire. Thanksgiving is nearer with all the wonderful comfort foods of childhood and more.

Welcome autumn! Welcome.
