Rust-colored and Leaf-strewn

“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.”
~Stanley Horowitz 

The vibrant tint of crisping leaves paints itself on the beautiful canvas of autumn once again. Vivid wonderland the sun rays create on a crispy day is an enchantment to the eye; picturesqueness has a hold on ones mind and tongue, filling the mind with wondrous thoughts as the shorter days are drawing nigh.
Autumn seems almost magical. Such crunch, briskness and snappiness fill the air, all the while complemented by the enjoyable remembrance of the summer so soon departed.
Autumn holds a new promise, something different and strange, new and exciting, daring and sweet. It’s unpredictable in the loveliest of ways.

The scenery takes on rust-colored hues, as if seeing the world through golden glasses, wondrous to behold. The textures beneath our shoes is no longer the soft and velvety substance of green turf, but instead is the rustling of leaf-strewn earth. One has only to listen with attentive ear to hear the acorns dropping and soft patter of the leaves falling to the brick path; such sounds are unique to this autumnal world.

Yours truly is looking forward to many a bonfire with golden brown marshmallows (the burnt ones just won’t do), many a mug of apple cider warming my palms, many a bowl of carmel corn twanging my tastebuds, many a rainy day with a book in hand, and many an autumn afternoon taking a stroll adorned with plaid and rosy cheeks.
I fully intend to enjoy this delightful season to it’s fullest! For after all, tis’ only a season and will last only until the winds of November usher on it’s way.

Three jolly cheers for October and the autumnness that it brings in it’s wake!
Three cheers for the merry times this brilliant season brings in it’s ever-changing fashion!

Here’s to a rollicking October, my friends!
