Autumn

 

It was raining this morning — kind of cool, not unusual for October, not unusual for my birthday time.   

Cooler weather is a refreshing change from the heavy heat of summer. I feel alive again, returning to my comfortable clothes. It’s a grounding time for me — warm soups, pumpkins, hot tea, apples, Halloween, and soft candlelight.

I love the long walks and cozy evenings.

This is my new year — a new beginning, every year.

The trees change colors — gold, orange, red, and brown — hot days giving way to cool nights.

Autumn always brings me home to myself.
