Autumn.....

Word of the Day....... Autumn....n.,..season between summer and winter. Okay, fine....the calender doesn't officially declare it yet......the temperature this morning isn't THAT cool...but go outside with your cuppa and I think you can begin to ever so slightly FEEL autumn in the air. A change is a'comin'.........maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon. Hello crisp air, long sleeve shirts and open windows.....goodbye oppressive heat, hot leather seats in cars and 24 hour a/c. Circle of seasons once again is on the horizon. Let's think golds, and greens and oranges......football, and falling leaves and what to put in the crock pot to softly simmer all day for dinner. Mother Nature is slowly but surely contemplating putting her kids to bed for their long winter rest....her trees and grasses, her shrubs and plants. They will renew energy and strength from their sleep, then when it's time, once again blossom and grow and yield. Amazing stuff......huh?
