O Fall Where Art Thou

Is it autumn yet? Evidently not!
Where are the misty mornings and crisp cool afternoons, when bright sunlight feels nice and warm. There is no gloominess in its cool weather; even the breezy and sometimes wet evenings are very pleasing. Fall signifies the good- even beautiful side of cooler weather after the sticky heat and humidity of summer.

Autumn brings a lot! Crisp sweet apples, fresh hot apple cider infused with cinnamon. Nature putting up a transient show in vibrant colors. The flavor of change all around excites the heart and pleases the soul.

Light jackets suffice to ward off mildly chilly winds. The impending gloom of snow, slush and parkas seems so far away as to not even feel imminent.

Its September and still mercilessly hot and humid. Summer still goes on in all its splendor, way past its departure date. The heat is turning some leaves prematurely brown, bypassing all possibility of exuberence in their free lives. The sun shines on. Lovers of warm weather continue to enjoy these last few days of it for this year. But I am done with summer.

O' Fall where art thou!! I am ready for you!!
