The October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and November trembled like a butterfly. The reddening November trees are crowning glory of the year!

Everything bursting with its season beauty; hold your applause until the end of the performance (the last day of fall). Its bag full of leaves lying as carpet, rich and rare, content to sleep, their work well done. Every falling leaf encourages them to try again next year; lesson: the harder you fall, the stronger your climbs, the higher your pedestal.

How cold is this season! Even the lights are cold; they have put shawls of fog around them, see! Winter’s knocking at the door. Now, November's fire burns slowly along the woods, they blend with autumn zephyrs sighing; tone and color, frost and fire. The fire burns and kettle sings.

I considered naming this week the fog days but between the folds of the cloudy blanket that keeps draping our city each morning, there are glorious moments of sunshine and warmth. I have a mix of both types of imagery to depict a cool, crisp autumn. Is it any coincidence that “awesome” sounds so much like “Autumn"?

Pumpkins, bonfire, nature walks, smores, autumn leaves, lattes, apple cider, hoodies, hot cocoa, boots, jeans, cuddling, crisp air, Halloween, full moon, frost, fog, rain, melancholy, corn, fireplace, flushed cheeks. I live for Autumn. October, baptize me with leaves! O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!

Stuck right there between red and yellow as the second color in the rainbow, it was orange. Yes, it did embellish entire neighboring with tinge of carroty. After all it’s the only season where pumpkins are judged by their personality. The leaves fall and the wind blows, from the summer cottons to falling leaves. Welcome autumn!
