Raindrops on my window sill

Another Monday has drawn nigh ...
laying here in my sanctuary listening to the cars pass by on the main road outside my community
the rain rhythmically tap dancing on the window

the temperature has dropped enough to allow the window to be opened

sitting here thinking of
anticipating
excited for
FALL

the smell of cinnamon
the smell of leaves

the crisp morning air
the way it pinches your nose
and rattles your bones

sleeping with windows open
then racing out of the bed to shut the window at the meeting of the dawn

i love fall
not just because its the precursor to my FAVE winter
but i genuinely love fall

the memories it evokes
the smells
the tastes
the sounds
the feel

the fleece in the morning
the blanket on your bed at night

this past summer was a scorcher
so the nights hovering around 50 degrees are welcomed and embraced

fall makes me want to escape
it makes me want to spend my weekends hidden in my thermals
hot chocolate with a side of adult  
blankets on the couch
cold toes and cold nose

when i lived at 350 Hilltown Rd, oh how i LOVED the fall, the burning of leaves, the cinnamon yankee candle...
the sun setting early
there is something about fall

something about the slowing down of things....

yes im all in
