First of all, it makes a heart fill with intense gratitude for the gift of sight.
And gratitude for cool, crisp air to breathe.
More gratitude for splendid colors, like sun-filled yellow against a brilliant blue sky.
It's also a season that fills a soul with longing.
One hopes the sun-filled gorgeous days will stay awhile and not give way to blustery Old Man Winter.
One yearns for the leaves to stay put on the branches so the splendor can continue for as long as possible.
There's a tinge of woodsmoke in the air. Someone's lighted a fireplace. Oh! Cold chilly nights are right around the corner. Good snuggling weather is on its way.
Autumn days make one realize how precious life is. Trees illuminated with rich and regal colors, shimmering and shaking tenuously on the branches, are gifts, however short lived.
For sure, autumn moves me to tears with its intense beauty.
Sweet autumn! Stay. Stay as long as possible.
As would have been said in the olden times,
"I do not wish to bid you adieu."
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST PART OF AUTUMN FOR YOU SO FAR?
