Fall is in the Air

Without question, my favorite season is fall. More specifically, my favorite month (although not technically a real month) is the period from September 15th to October 15th. During that stretch, the days are sunny and mild and the nights are crisp and cool. The trees are ablaze with color and there's an indescribable scent of autumn in the air.

This year, it seems the season has started a little early. Hopefully that will mean my favorite season will extend a little longer. But just in case it's just shifted ahead, I intend to savor every moment of this season.

Tonight as I walked Snickers, I allowed myself to drink in the experience...the chill air on my cheeks, the wafting scent of a fire burning in a fireplace, the first spots of color among the leaves, the deep hue of goldenrod in full bloom, even the haunting call of a screech owl...a sure sign that Halloween is just around the corner.
