Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
- George Eliot
In this part of the world Autumn begins today..........
I am looking forward to the change in colors and light and scents of Fall but to want the season to hurry up is to rush time and who amongst us wants to rush time? Here, the temps and the foliage and sky are still wearing their summer garments. I don't think they all received the memo yet that today begins a new rotation. It will take its time easing in to true Autumn...it doesn't want to push too hard. The small perceptible change in to its vibrant Autumnal garments arrives slowly here.......so we honor it as it evolves and we welcome it when it arrives.
*****************
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
