Fall is Here



It's the first day of November and Fall is back in its full splendor. I think I'm officially changing my favorite season from Summer to Autumn. Early Autumn, when the air is crisp and the leaves are gold and crimson. Not late Autumn, when the trees are naked and dead, and the leaves are rotting, and the snow begins to fall, hinting at the hell-frozen-over scenario that is to come.

Right now, we're in the middle portion of this season. The air is still crisp, and pumpkins dot the landscape while the smell of apple cider fills the air. But it's getting colder and darker. It will get even darker...er after the time change this weekend.

I leave you with the image of me scraping frost off of my windshield this morning and hoping that the heat would kick in as I am driving to class.

It's coming, people.
