Fall details

There are so many things I love about autumn. In one last burst of glory the trees shed their colorful leaves much like revelers slipping off their costumes after a ball. The greenery of summer turns into the khaki of fall. Color leaches from the landscape as everything steels itself against the coming winter. It’s time to start adding an extra layer or two as we get ready in the morning. And scarves and hats make their way back into rotation. Hot tea and cocoa replaces iced tea and lemonade. Comfort foods like chili and a hearty chicken noodle soup appeal to the senses. As the holidays approach, we anticipate fun times with family and friends. It really is a good time of year.

Here are some shots from around our place of the changing season.
