Savouring Autumn ~

Autumn is my favorite season...well, that is until spring arrives and then that's my favorite season! Actually, I enjoy all the different seasons ~ I've even learned to appreciate winter's stark beauty. But, after the slow, humid days of summer and before the harsh, frozen months of winter, the rich colors and pungent smells of autumn are heady at times. Nap taking, chili making, pie baking rainy days followed by Indian summer's sunshine and crisp nights. If only I could make autumn last a little longer...

October is a symphony of permanence and change.

How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.

 A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.

 Until next time, savor Autumn!
