When I looked on my calendar today, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that today is the first day of autumn. Some people hate the fact that summer is over and it’s almost October but I look forward to it. Fall is my favourite season, with spring coming in close second. There are many reasons why I love fall so much.
Usually I post a quote from a writer for my segment, “Wednesday Words of Wisdom” but today I decided to try something different and make it “Wednesday Words.”
the first day of autumn
Fall arrives with its cool wind and deeply-coloured leaves
Fat orange pumpkins and sweet butternut squash
Salted apple slices and warm apple pie
Pumpkin pie with dollops of whipped cream
Moist turkeys that make you sleepy and satisfied
Coffees and lattes and muffins and cookies with pumpkin flavour
Scented candles with hints of maple, cinnamon, pumpkin and cranberry
Flavours of fall: warm, inviting and delicious
Knee-high boots and knitted scarves
Leather jackets and gloves
Plaid shirts and dark jeans
Creepy movies about ghosts and monsters and haunted houses
Cold and rainy Halloween nights
With bags of candies and chocolates and chips
Vampires and werewolves and ghosts and princesses and pirates and wizards
Masks and swords and wands
The Harry Potter theme song playing in my head
And then autumn leaves just as soon as it arrives
Leaving a trace of its fallen leaves or chilly air
But it’s already disappeared in the frigid cold and snow
Vanishing like a ghost
What’s your favourite season? Do you enjoy fall?
