Color it Cool

As the weather begins to slowly change from hot to cool, evidence mounts all around that autumn is in the air. The evidence begins to fall as leaves, changing colors as quickly as they change the landscape. This is my most favorite time of the year, aesthetically. Every year I get excited to see the trees go through their magical transformation. It leads to a cool, at times unpleasant, season, but with the benefit of beauty. While the signs of new growth promote the idea of newness and freshness with the onset of spring, the colors and coolness of fall bring to mind wonderful smells of soups, pumpkin pies, and hot cocoa. The big warm, fuzzy blankets return, and out of the closet come my favorite sweatshirts. Ahhhh, welcome, fall.
