The colors of my wardrobe are influenced by the changing colors of nature during the autumn season. I love to wear warm, earthy colors like rust, orange, gold, red, black and brown in the fall. These colors remind me of the beauty of nature during this time of year, and they also make me feel cozy and warm.
Here are some of the ways I celebrate autumn:
Fall begins at the equinox, the day when the day and night are equal.
Watching fall foliage change on a hike or drive as the weeks leading to winter set the trees ablaze with gold, red, and orange and brown.
The obligatory visit to the pumpkin and apple picking orchards.
After my visit it is time to bake pumpkin and apple pies, fresh apple juice and tiny pumpkin cookies with apple pieces.
As the days get darker it is time to decorate for Halloween, skulls, witches, ghouls, ghosts, cornstalks and hay bales. I am ready for neighboring trick or treaters.
Then there is Thanksgiving. Time for a yearly feast of turkey with all the trimmings with family.
Preparing for Christmas with an early tree fully decorated and in full view until the New Year.
Autumn is a time of change and transition, but it is also a time of beauty and abundance. I am grateful for the opportunity to experience this wonderful season each and every year.
