It's still warm in many parts of the
country but September is here and soon there will be crisp days and cool
nights. In 21 short days, September 23 it will herald the first day of
fall.
I'm ready right now. I'm ready
for pumpkin spice everything from coffees to beers. I'm ready for apple
festivals and pies. I'm ready for heirloom apples that you can't buy in
the local grocery store.
I'm ready for the leaves to turn the
beautiful magentas, reds, oranges and golds. I'm ready for majestic blue
ridge mountains to frame these colors with the backdrop mountain pines.
I'm ready for tailgating, football
and warm and spicy, hot and bubbly chili. Craft and Renaissance fairs.
I'm looking forward to apple butter in big outdoor pots and kettle corn
made fresh. I'm ready for weather that begs for warm cozy sweaters and
fires in the fireplace.
You know how makeup companies
sometimes categorize complexions into seasons. Even if they label me a
winter I guess you could say I'm an really an autumn at heart.
What season are you?
