The Joys of Fall

Waking up to a cool room under warm blankets. A nice cup of coffee accompanied by a slice of one of Jess' many apple pie recipes. Smelling the dew on the air. Watching steam roll off of rooftops and bodies of water on a morning drive down the back roads. The smell of dirt and oak while splitting firewood. Sitting on a patio listening to the sound of a slow running fountain, a cool breeze blows by, and an immediate return to warmth via help from the sun. Dinner with family and anticipation of the holidays. Captivating stories of humor and suspense. Pumpkins and their wonderful diversity from edible to art, and sometimes a combination of both. The low evening fog. Evening tea and laughing over lack-luster attempts at reading tea leaves. Crawling into a warm bed wondering, hoping, that the day could be repeated.
