September: it was the most beautiful of words, he’d always felt, evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret.- Alexander Theroux, 1981
'Tis the last rose of summer,Left blooming alone;All her lovely companionsAre faded and gone.

It's getting near that time of the year when I'll be leaving for work in the dark and coming home in the dark. Since yesterday's post was about sunshine, today is all about anti sunshine! that sinister period when the days start getting shorter and it gets more and more difficult to rise and "shine". Altho I do like the early morning (I'm a morning person) and I sure enjoy the quietude of it all, having the sun with me while I travel to work is something surely to be missed.
Oh well....I guess I have to give that up to get the cool breezes of the fall! Happy Fall to Y'all!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Cool breezes, rainy days. It is just nicer than the rest of the year (in my opinion).
I love fall, but the shorter days wear me down.
I hate the shorter days. Does fall actually begin today or tomorrow? I was thinking about blogging about it. ALthough out here in So Cal, it's not like anything changes until November anyway ;-)
Dreamy Scarry pumpkins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee / lattes ,halloween chocolates, apple picking, hot apple pies, hot cider, candied apples, candied sweet potatoes with marshmellows, Thanksgiving Turkey and the trimmings,My Birthday....
The trees changing color with vibrant red, golds, oranges and some green.
I Love the Fall!

I Love the Fall!
Fall has always been my favorite season. Here in No. Cal, though, there is no logical progression of seasons, which still seems peculiar to me.
I miss the turning leaves and woodsmoke most of all, but don't like the shorter daylight hours. I think we should be on Daylight Savings Time all year.
Sometimes I feel like the last rose of summer.
Well, I had a nice poetic little comment to make and blogger just dumped it and I could not re create what I typed.
So now all you get is a....
Nice post. Love the season.

Melon, don't cha hate when that happens???? That has happened to me a few times and yes it's very difficult to recreate what one just said off the top of their head again....ruins the whole message....damn!
Peace!
Heart, I don't know what i'd do if i didn't have the change of seasons....it's refreshing, reflective, invigorating...and sometimes hot...and sometimes freezing...lol...but it's all good!
