Autumn is my favorite season. I love everything about this time of year. Sweaters, bonfires and yes, I even love the shorter days.
Evenings with candles and fuzzy blankets feel so cozy and grant us time for cuddling. As the sun goes down early, it takes our expectations with it. It is okay to kick back and watch a football game at 7:00p. It is already dark outside, the work day is officially over.
Although the appeal of living somewhere with sunshine and waves is obvious, it does not diminish my appreciation for winter’s eve. My soul requires this transition from heat to bitter cold. The sting of winter is softened by the autumnal glory.
Today, we wait eagerly on the precipice of fall. Our collective dreams involve crisp air and scattered leaves. Leaves remind us that even yard work this time of year is fun! Grab a rake and make an enormous crunchy pile perfect for jumping. See your childrens’ grins stretch wide as their focus is centered on owning those mounds.
Pour yourself a glass of pumpkin tea or steamy cider and drink in the warmth of the season.
Cheers!
