Somehow each season seems to know how to be just the perfect length. Fall's cool fingers plucking me from my air-conditioned refuge. Winter's first snowflakes drawing me outside to receive their cool kisses on my cheeks. Spring's optimistic crocuses poking through the mud, eliciting joy at their promise of warmth and sunshine. And the hot, lazy days of summer, where the cool dampness of deep green shade provides the perfect oasis. Just when one season seems to have worn out it's welcome, the next comes peeking around the corner. It's such a perfect balance, I don't know how people live where one season runs on ad infinitum.
Today fall officially returns. In her honor, these are just a few of the reasons I love her:
- the crisp tang of fresh apples
- the hazy, heavy Harvest Moon
- the smell of cold nights & campfires
- the vision of blazing trees
- the crackle & scent of dry leaves
- the feel of socks after a summer of flip flops
- sunlight in places where it wasn't before
This is good. I LIKE THIS! Good job Em!
