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
