As I sit with my coffee on this warm September morning, I understand autumn has officially begun, even though summer seems to be holding on a bit longer. Still, the promise of crisp autumn temps is just around the corner, ready to sweep in with its refreshing chill. The leaves are showing hints of yellow and crimson, even if the air doesn't feel like a proper fall day. I took a walk through the park yesterday, and while the sun felt warm, the occasional crunch of early fallen leaves underfoot whispered of cooler days to come.
Autumn’s arrival brings with it a sense of anticipation. I’m already thinking of those soon-to-come crisp mornings, perfect for cozy sweaters, pumpkin-spiced treats, and hearty soups simmering on the stove. It's almost chili season! And the holidays will be here before we know it. It's time to choose which pie to bake for the Thanksgiving pie contest. I lost last year, so I need to up my game.
Even though there are many things to look forward to, for me, autumn always brings a little sadness, knowing winter will rear its ugly head. Alright, I do think snowy mornings are pretty. At least the first snow. After that, not so much.
Happy fall, ya'll.
