The first day of September, and the sun is shining and it's warm as a summer day...and I feel grateful for these sunny days after a rather wet and chilly summer. And yet I long for the dark nights when candles light up the room with their soft warm light and the rain give me an excuse to cuddle up with a good book, or a stack of magazines, and a huge cup of hot tea. I wish I had a fire place, but I don't ~ yet ~ so I daydream of that home looking into the flickering flames of the candles...
What is autumn really? To me it's the time when nature prepare itself and get ready for the long sleep during the cold winter months. It is woods set in flames by the bright red, orange, and yellow leaves. It is crisp, chilly air in the morning and star filled midnight blue sky at night. It is also a time for soups and stews that warm and comfort, and hot tea and cocoa before bed at night (and you definitely not have to be a child to enjoy that!). It's a time to slow down, relax, read and prepare for my winter rest...more or less. Whatever your view on what the change in season means ~ enjoy it and let it restore your energy, lift your spirit, and have fun with it.
Take care and enjoy the season...
