Autumn

I have grown to love fall. It didn't happen overnight. In fact, fall was my least favorite season for many years.
When I first moved to the northeast from Key West, fall stood out prominently as the harbinger of winter. The season that followed only conjured up thoughts of bitter cold and tons of snow. It frightened me with my tropical blood. It took years for me to even figure out the right clothing. Finally have that one together!

Things have changed. I have fallen in love with fall and I'm no longer afraid of winter. I view fall as  a treasured season. These days I savor every moment, getting outside as much as possible. Lots of biking and walking. Loving the colors. I'm mesmerized even though this hasn't been our best year for colors. But the warm weather...wow!

Soon the snow. Sometimes the snow comes as early as mid or late October. But this year's crazy unseasonable weather has left us all guessing. Who knows what's going to unfold and I sort of love the mystery of it all. Haven't even thought of snow tires yet. Next week...

For now, some photos.
