In the Air

Today was the first day I noticed how brown the corn has become. I've seen the fall grass coming in for a few weeks now. And the trees are getting a hint of color. All the signs of fall are beginning to appear. You always know it is coming, yet it is always a surprise. Funny how our minds work like that.
A cold front moved through yesterday and with it the accompanying storms.Luckily for us, nothing too serious. The evening air is cooler now. The crickets have fallen silent. The air conditioner has been turned off and the windows thrown open. I just love feeling a cool breeze in the early evening.
Can the smell of burning leaves be far off ? Warm apple cider and a bowl of chili. Homemade bread. Sweaters and jackets. Fall is in the air ! Pumpkins. And the holidays loom large. Anticipation. Can that word sum up fall ? For some it certainly can. For me, Fall is resting. Resting after the summer and before the harshness of winter. A time to relax just a bit. Enjoy mother nature in her full glory of dress and the bounty she has provided. That,to me, is Fall.
