autumn's glory

i like to write about the seasons. this blog is evident of that. yes, autumn is here...which shows it took two seasons for me to update. ah, that's life i suppose. there is so much here to enjoy in these moments. it is a cool october afternoon, and everything seems to be turning orange and brown. there is a tree in my parents backyard that perfectly depicts the season's change. the once full, green, leaved tree that covered us with shade in the hot summer heat, now has a yellow brown twinge to it, and the leaves are slowly beginning to fall and fade away. by christmas day, this tree will be bare, as we welcome winter.

there is something sweet about autumn...a certain darkness, a melancholy mood that fills my soul, a simple sadness that exists in the air. acoustic music takes over my ipod, and pumpkin coffee becomes my drink of choice. my home transforms its color decor to match the season, burgundy, rich dark greens, loud reds, and various shades of orange.

i suddenly find myself loving nothing more than to curl up in the cool of the evening with a hot cup of tea, and a fabulous book with a kitty in my lap.

cheers to autumn.
