I posted earlier about how Spring is my favorite season. Well Autumn has to be my next favorite. The colors are just awesome. Being from New England, I know they get more spectacular than this, but it's been so long since I was back home during leaf season. By the time we drive up for Thanksgiving, the leaves are mostly gone. Fall has a nice crisp smell. The summer humidity is gone, but the winter chill hasn't settled in yet. In the evening when we walk the dog, we can smell wood burning in people's fireplaces. You start thinking about comfort foods and baking. You see piles of leaves, and remember jumping in piles like that as a kid, and kicking through leaves all the way to school. It isn't until the leaves have all fallen and been raked away, and everything seems dead, that I get a little sad thinking about winter.
