Autumn is now upon us! Hurrah! There is nothing more refreshing than a cool autumn breeze sneaking its way past summer's heat. This is my favorite time of year. When the weather begins to lose the intensity of deep summer and the air becomes crisper, tarter and the essence of the fall season begins to make itself know, the anticipation almost becomes too much.
The scent of autumn awakens to the glory we call September. It smells of newly cut hay, of apple and cinnamon, and most of all it smells of the intangible essence that turns the leaves into a brilliant array of color and begins to put the summer world to bed. It bursts with the freedom of one last dance before the lights go out and winter once more holds sway.
Perhaps it hearkens back to school days, but September in all its shades, seems to be a time of beginnings. It is a time to take stock of the good things laid before us, to reflect on the bounty of the year and make preparations for the months ahead. One last freedom before the dour months of winter again make their chill felt and the world begins to sleep.
Red and gold and green and brown. Autumn is here! September has come!

I am so with you, I LOVE Fall! You put my exact thoughts in your blog. So fresh, crisp, and clean feeling!
Word. Fall is probably my favourite. I love the cloying decay of fallen leaves, the unspoken melancholy of the somber heavens, the pensive coolness.
