A Bittersweet Farewell To Autumn

From the first crisp mornings that push away the lingering heat of Summer, to the last sweet hours of Thanksgiving eve, I revel in this glorious season. The rich hues of swirling leaves, farm stands filled with plump pumpkins, the delighted giggles of children trick or treating & warm conversation over the Thanksgiving table...each moment of Fall fills me with a sense of peace & contentment. The sun seems to glow a little more golden, a little warmer as the days grow shorter. We begin to set our sights on the joys found inside our homes...a mug of steaming hot chocolate, a cozy throw, a down filled chair nestled by a crackling fire...and we prepare for Winter.

Farewell sweet Autumn...
