everyone knows that i love fall.
it is no secret.
i love every minute of it. the changing leaves, the brisk weather, the greatest of all holidays Halloween.
not to mention the September issue of Vogue Magazine and endless new fall designs. Autumn, easily the most fashionable season. the season for a jacket and sturdy shoes. the season that gets you (and me) out of tank tops and into a smart and sensible cardigan. dressing once again like the grown up i have been longing to be all summer.
and i won't go off into a tangent about the foods of fall, but i will say that for dinner tonight i had piping hot potato soup, and the most delicious cup of tea i've (with honey) in recent memory.
one thing I find comforting about the fall is the ritual of it all. every fall school starts again. and every fall apples will be in season. and every fall there will be pumpkin flavored anything you can imagine. and there is Halloween and Thanksgiving and all the personal rituals that go along with that. for me fall is a season that i can count on.
if one year was one day then fall would be the time before bed.
it is the time for winding down. for slowing down. for taking stock in the year's near end to reflect a bit. to savor. the way you would a spiced latte. or a rich hot chocolate.
that's what i love most about fall. the richness that is the season.
