A Brief Note

     September 22 welcomes the first day of fall. The air turns crisp and cool, as if the weather waited for this day to come all year. When the sun goes down it is cool to take night walks around the neighborhood, absorbing the feeling of fall.

     Coffee shops display  large variety of pumpkin, apple, cocoa and spiced drinks to get their customers in the fall spirit. Cakes are swapped for pies. Lemonades for spiced apple ciders. Summer shorts for leggings and closed toed flats. Spunky neon prints for warm plum and mossy greens.

     Fall gives a feeling of community. With potlucks, thanksgiving, and all the events that come with cold weather. Families and friends come together just because. When the leaves turn mahogany and mustard yellow, it sets a mood no other season can. The landscape is visually stunning, stirring the sense of God's magnificence. It’s the Earth way of closing the year with a grand exit, preparing for the next one to come.
