A friend of mine wrote this piece about Autumn that is elegantly and beautifully written....I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The Change.
"...Please don’t misunderstand. I love our change of seasons and pity the regions that don’t experience it. I love the sights and smells of fall. There is the perfume mother nature provides that is intoxicating. That “peat” smell that you only get when fallen leaves begin to decay combine that with a wisp of wood smoke in the air and the aroma is sweeter than that of a rose. When the foliage begins to turn red, yellow and rust….It can be so beautiful that it is indescribable and you don’t ever want to lose that moment in time. It nearly hurts your eyes. Breezes feel cooler and get stronger. Animals are scurrying about to prepare for what they know is coming. There is wood to split, canning jars to put up and heavier clothing to locate and prepare for regular use..."
