Call me strange, but autumn is my favorite. The beautiful array of colors and the warmth of family greetings is so inviting. I won’t break out in song, but just know that I could at any moment!
Whenever I tell someone that my favorite color is brown and my favorite season is fall, they usually want to know what’s wrong with me. I haven’t always been this way. In fact, for a long time I was undecided about such things. But over time I fell in love with autumn. At first, simply because of the pleasant weather!
I wish I had a picture to show you. I wish I could let you see the rain that’s tapping on my window (I love the rain), or the Maple leaves crowding my street. I wish you could have felt the cool breeze I felt yesterday as I raked the yard, and laughed with me as I realized it was this same cool breeze that was undoing my work!
I just enjoyed my first cup of hot cocoa of the season. It was so warm and creamy! I took my cocoa outside and sat down, and there I listened to the rain. There wasn’t a thing in the world that could have bothered me in that moment. I’m so glad it’s autumn.
