Well, Fall has arrived and the days of summer are gone. Our local pool has been drained, removing any hope whatever that we'll veer into that parking lot on a whim when the kids yell from the back seat, "LET'S GO SWIMMING!"It's time, instead, to get out the scarecrow's clothes, hang up the harvest wreaths, start eyeing the pumpkings, wondering how long they'll last if we carve them now and whether it really matters because, hey, wouldn't it be fun to carve them again?
It's time to run through the yard and try to catch a leaf before it hits the ground, touching something that has never before been touched by human hands.
It's time to get out the sweaters and put away the shorts, forget about the watermelon and start mulling the cider, put sunbathing behind us and start stoking the bonfires.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Summer may be over, but I'm still looking forward to our first camping trip, a few good bike rides, at least a couple of hikes and a shot at bobbing for apples.
What are your favorite things about Autumn?
