It has been a wonderfully long autumn with sweaters here and there and lot of chilly mornings with warm afternoons. The days are getting shorter too, so I think I am going to pull out all the winter clothes and pack away summer's. I look forward to this annual chore because it means it is time for soup and quiet nights at home and my favorite holidays of Christmas and Valentine's Day are on their way. The beauty of a still morning alone with my thoughts gives me new life as I try to keep my head up. I have no way to describe the satisfaction I have with crunchy leaves that are never-ending and golden afternoons that beg you to think it might still be summer.
