"After the keen days of September, the October sun filled the world with mellow warmth... The Maple tree in front of the doorstep burned like a gigantic red torch. The oaks along the roadway glowed yellow and bronze. The fields stretched like a carpet of jewels, emerald and topaz and garnet. Everywhere she walked the color shouted and sang around her... In October any wonderful unexpected thing might be possible."

The weather has turned, in just the last few days.There is a definite chill in the air. The halfway point of autumn comes on October 31st, a fact I have always loved. It should happen on that day, because Halloween is all about magic. There is a slant of light right now, even on cloudy days, that is unmistakable. Maybe it's the light of 3 apple juice. Maybe it's simple the decline of yet another year, with the promise of a fresh start right around the corner. Maybe it's the smell of damp earth and wet leaves. Maybe it's different for everybody, but roll it up together, and you have autumn. Mist, golden light, autumn fruits and squash. A season so alive, so special, it holds more colors than all the other seasons combined. And more love too. Autumn is the best season to fall in love.
