“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler
crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”

"There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
which through the summer is not heard or seen,
as if it could not be, as if it had not been!"
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than
all the other seasons.”
~Jim Bishop
“The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the
storms their energy, while cares will drop
away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”
~ John Muir
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal
sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent
almost all the daylight hours in the open air.”
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Autumn was her happiest season. There was an expectancy
about its sounds and shapes: the distant thunk pomp
of leather and young bodies on the practice field near
her house made her think of bands and cold Coca-Colas,
parched peanuts and the sight of people's breath in the air.
There was even something to look forward to when school
started ― renewals of old feuds and friendships, weeks
of learning again what one half forgot in the long summer.
Fall was hot supper time with everything to eat one missed
in the morning when too sleepy to enjoy it.”
~Harper Lee
Breath in that cooler Fall air. It will cure what ails you!
Revel in the colors of the season.
Bite into a juicy, crunchy Honey Crisp apple.
Getting out cozy blankets. There’s nothing like cuddling
up in a warm throw blanket to watch a movie.
Go to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch. Pick a Halloween
costume. Jump into a pile of leaves. Go on a hayride.
Build a bonfire. Carve jack-o-lanterns. Wood smoke in the air.
Another special part of autumn is that the colder, darker evenings
bring the perfect excuse to indulge in homemade, heart & tummy warming
comfort food. Now is the perfect time for slow cooked stews,
roast dinners, big pots of chili simmering on the stove.
Enjoy each day of this magical season.
Warmly,
Susie Q
