Changing Seasons

Definite chill in the air now, nights are drawing in (now a starry night when I get home instead of a balmy summery evening), and the lawn is starting to get covered in leaves. Guess this means that summer is now over, not even an inkling of and Indian Summer!
I do so love this time of year, the clairty in the air, the late afternoon light of soft peach / apricot / orange combination, the trees saying goodbye in gorgeous tones from canary yellow to candy red and the relief from the summer heat.
All I can say is build me a humungous leaf pile, I wanna play in it! Oh, and some nice hot soup, crusty bread and hot apple pie to finish with!
