Autumn

I have to say that with the weather becoming more and more like a typical New York summer I have been thinking how much I enjoy Autumn. I am often like this with the seasons, I yearn for the one we are not in but I will always fall back on my love for autumn with the colors and cool, crisp breeze. The sounds the wind makes and the feeling upon your exposed skin that is not covered up by a thick sweater. The feeling of sipping a warm cup of tea or rich coffee, sitting outside and reading a newspaper is a perfect scenario for me. I love the warmth of the sun during the summer months but that is nothing when you are sitting outside on a crisp autumn day in October or Early November and the sun beams down and it actually feels warm on your face. Football is getting started and the chili is eaten on a more regular basis. The random rain shower and the cool air that makes it just fine to bundle up on a couch and watch a movie or eat an early dinner. With the ever changing colors of the trees, leaves falling on the ground, crunching under your boots. The sun sets earlier and earlier each day, reminding us of what is to come and we shall prepare of winter hibernation. Sure, when that time comes I yearn desperately for summer skies and sweltering heat but it doesn't matter. With children getting excited for Halloween and the ideas of costumes float through conversations. It is the time when plans for Thanksgiving are revealed, realizing who, of your close friends, will be home and who be away visiting family. Autumn has an element of honesty and innocence that I hold close to my heart. New York summers, I like you very much but I have to say if I had to pick I would choose a Northeast autumn because its just all around better.
