Last Sunday I looked out my kitchen window and thought to myself, "It looks like Fall..." Something about the quality of the light had changed...I'm not sure if that really explains it, but I could see the difference. So, I stuck my nose out the door and I could actually smell autumn in the air.
What is it about this season that I love so much? The first thing that comes to mind is the colors - red, orange, gold and yellow - warm and comforting. I also enjoy the cooler temperatures - I love wearing turtlenecks and sweaters. Finally, autumn brings Halloween, pumpkins and the beginning of the holiday season. The holidays will bring the girls home and that's always a good thing.
In a couple weeks, Ron and I will be going to Half Moon Bay for the annual pumpkin festival. This signals the beginning of the holiday season and maybe the start of some Christmas shopping. I will be walking more carefully and slowly than last year, but I am going to enjoy every minute. I have vowed to never take anything for granted again....
