"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
I must agree with George Eliot!! As a lot of you already know - Fall -Autumn - is my most favorite of all seasons!! Thus the post dedicated to this "delicious" time of year!
What is it about Fall that captures the heart? Is it the brilliant warm colors blanketing the earth?
The cozy feeling of being home with a fire going? All snuggled up with a good movie or a book?
Walking thru crunchy leaves, with a slight breeze blowing - against the most sapphire blue sky that only Fall unveils? Even the different angle of light, casting long shadows upon the porch?
How about the aroma of toasted spices awakening the senses - apple cider - hot cocoa - and baking pumpkin chocolate chip cookies? : )
Fall has always given me a feeling within the deepest reaches of my soul, of homecoming. Gatherings. Harvest. Candlelight.
Immersed in the "golden hour" for such a small moment of time, before it settles to its slumber.
Even the birds seem to notice the splendor.
Memories made and those remembered gathered in arms full of colored leaves.

Whatever it is for you, take this fleeting moment of a season and bask in it. Feel it.
It's upon your doorstep, welcome it within.

"Winter is an etching,
spring a watercolor,
summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
- Stanley Horowitz
"Autumn burned brightly,
a running flame through the mountains,
a torch flung to the trees."
- Faith Baldwin
"Fall -
where heaven's glorious palette
paints earth
with the finger of God."
"The golden-hour
lives in the yellow leaves of
Fall."
