Living in a location that experiences all four seasons, I have found that I, like many others have found a favorite season. I cannot always explain exactly what it is about the season some refer to as Autumn, but for me it is everything but Fall. The perfect temperature. The mornings are cool and crisp, the day still gets warm enough to break a sweat, and the nights become a chill perfect for sleeping. The colors and smells of the local foliage, causes me to become nostalgic, and lament on television programs from my childhood. The Peanuts is the first one that is recalled, The Great Pumpkin! Images of Halloween with children downing a costume all for that one night of the year they can go from house to house to receive their treat. The once full of corn, fields are now golden with the left over remains of the yield that has been harvested. The daylight becomes shorter and nights longer, then the sky becomes gray and cloudy, and the cold rains begin. The kind of rain that deserves a Hot Chocolate with marshmallows. For me Fall brings emotions of happiness and joy, a time of gathering and reaping what we have sown. It is a time of great food; made from the harvest of the provisions that we have toiled for. Yes, The feelings of Fall.
