I love autumn. Some of my favorite memories as a kid is laying in the cool grass, watching the grackles flock, swooping against the twilight sky. Their loud cries breaking into the quiet night. I could lay there all night watching the sky. I still feel that way. I love the spicy, peppery smell that our meadows get as things change from growth to decay. I love the crisp mornings and the first white frost on the grass. The bugs are gone, the rain is abundant, and it feels so good to come inside where it's warm.
I also love the soccer season. I love the game. Love to watch the game played well. Love when I see the potential of a player come to fruition. All of this comes in the fall.
My drive to work has shortened from 25 minutes to 6 minutes. I miss seeing all the wildlife and changes in scenery ~ but it makes for a much better day! So for all of you who are not fortunate enough to have a natural transition from spring to fall, I wish for you to close your eyes and imagine the temperature of 35, crisp, clean, blue sky scrubbed by passing storms, a riot of orange, yellow, green and red, and a warm hoodie making you comfortable through it all!
Happy fall.
