Fall Is In The Air

Who doesn't like autumn? It's the season of change, when we go from the hot, sticky days of summer to the cooler and crisper air of fall. The leaves change color and silently fall away from their hosts, carpeting the ground in a quilt of many colors. Many folks lament fall, knowing it's the harbinger of a coming winter season. Many compare fall to a season of dying, leaves dying, crops dying, daylight itself dying off in time present. But I think differently, I appreciate the autumnal season as a precursor to the cycle of life.

Maybe it's because I was born in the fall, late October, in the foothills of North Georgia, that I have such an appreciation for this time of year. Maybe it's because the things I like most are the fall, I love the cool but not cold, the colors of the change of season, the smell of outdoor fires and even the burnt dust smell of the first time the heat kicks on for the year. And candy at Halloween ain't a bad deal either!
