AUTUMN’S SIMPLE MAGIC

Welcome to Autumn. Autumn is my favorite
season. After coming through our searing summer
in this area, the anticipation of watching
the extended forecast with dreams of 80 degree
days dancing in my head is thrilling! I have
many northern friends that don’t understand what I feel. They are dreading
the cold temperatures. Most of our Autumn days are more like their summer
days! I love seeing the leaves change colors and having nights chilly enough
for a blazing fire. It also seems to me that our sunsets are more colorful and
vibrant in the fall. Seasons changing is one of the simple pleasures that we
can indulge ourselves in. There are holidays that come with times for families
to get together to enjoy good food and fun. I hope this Autumn brings you
beautiful days, cooler nights for an after dinner stroll, and pulling out your favorite
snuggly sweater and having opportunity to wear it. May your cocoa and
coffees be hot, your cider warm, and maybe you will get to take in a sporting
event bundled up in the bleachers cheering
loudly for your favorite team. Embrace
this new season with joy and anticipation.
I am sending warm thoughts to each of
you, to have countless reasons to make
simple memories with those you love.
And don’t forget the popcorn and s’mores
when you get cozy in front of the fire. It’s
a magical time of the year.
