The autumn shuffle begins—a time to forage and gather. A flip of the hourglass. A change of perception. Release the light and embrace the dark that arrives early and lingers later.

To wax eloquent? Or recite the wonderful pluses of one season slowly shifting to the next? Maybe the latter.

Variable Weather changeable days mammoth clouds Winnie-the-Pooh days blustery breezes

Subjective Shuffles switching mindsets altering routines warmer [snuggly] garments seasonal sports

Fabulous Fun crunchy leaves galore festive hay bales and hayrides fat and frail scarecrows plump pumpkins (to carve and eat)

Delicious Drinks nummy pumpkin-spice lattes belly-warming Glühwein soothing herbal teas scrumptious broths and cocoa

Enjoyable Edibles roasted squashes and turnips sweet pumpkin pie and cranberry cobbler hearty pasta and casseroles tempting Halloween treats

A season of awe-inspiring colors and fabulous offerings, welcome the fall into autumn—a time to give thanks, unwind, gear up for the holidays … and welcome an upcoming new year.
