...with the most WONderful season of the year! The air is crisp and full of more smells than a high school, and the trees are as colourful as the well clad folk walking under them. I love the knit sweaters, the knee high boots, the scarves, the wool jackets, the hats.... Apples taste better than in any other season, wineries reveal their latest vintages, and a homemade stew warms the heart, soul, and body.
Fall prepares us for the cleansing of the winter in order to bring us the new birth of spring, an even though the leaves and the grass seem almost dead at my feet, I feel most alive knowing the fall marks change for me. Death brings new life, and grief should stir change and hope in us. The end of a year is approaching and I feel a confidence and motivation stirring in me to begin setting the table to voraciously take in the possibilities laid out for me. I shall raise a glass of a 2005 Sumac Ridge Cabernet/Merlot and with a tear toast the past with all of its memories of joys and sorrows, and drink to the year to come.
Now, if you will excuse me.... I am going to make myself a cup of tea, dust off my TV for the first of a few long anticipated season premieres.

Yes,the end of the first year is fast approaching and I know you had set that as a goal to make it to and then make decisions for the next year.Anything in particular that you've decided to move towards?
I LOVE FALL!! Especially my Fall clothes, which I need to get more! I love turtlenecks and sweaters and my new fall jacket from Costco! :)
What is your new winter activity? Jim and I signed up for dance lessons, we are having a blast! Talk soon, K?
Great post! This makes me want to go outside and kick up leaves, splash through puddles, and make warm apple crumble.
