I love the fall. Autumn. The smell of the leaves and of the fireplaces fired up for the first time…the apple cider and the crisp morning air. The football games and hay rides and sweaters and pumpkins. It’s one of my favorite things about Northeast Ohio.
Fall is a great reminder that change is a wonderful thing. Transition is a natural and necessary part of life. Summer was great with the hot days and poolside conversations. Margaritas and laughing kids running through the sprinkler on a Tuesday afternoon. But every good thing must end and there is wonder to be found in the time in between. Yes…it does mean that winter is on the way. Yes…it does mean that soon the grill will be packed away and the gas bill will reach triple digits…but not just yet. The fall is a golden yellow, orange and red reminder that we can’t be in such a big hurry to rush into the next chapter. There is an almost otherworldly beauty in this momentary redecoration of the landscape. Time seems to slow for just a moment and things just feel good.
Of course this whole peaceful warm fuzzy feeling is derailed when you are dealing with a house full of whiny, sneezy, snotty, fevery, coughing, wheezing sick kids…
But it is a great time nonetheless…
Happy fall…
