Change of Season

It started raining today, and I don't know why, but it soothed me. I stepped out onto the speckled street, felt the hint of a bite in the air, and I breathed long.

It's time. I can feel it. Time for tea, and for spices, and also for orange and amber and warm browns. Candles. Pumpkins, apples, squash, apple pie. Indian summer was good to us, and it's probably not quite over, but I'm ready for fall. And winter, as much as we ever get it here.

I know this is a little scruffy looking, but I just LOVE the colors in the background. Fall, here we come!
