I know I am bemoaning the end of summer, however, I adore
autumn. I love the smells, the colors and the way the air feels.
I love the bounty as in the Colorado peaches that drip with juice by just looking at them.
I love NY State apples (I may be getting my favorite kind delivered to me – Cortland apples!)
They taste crunchy, juicy, & sweet. They’re white as cloud on the inside and like a rosy flower on the outside.
I love the crunch under my feet when I hike and the smell of the warm pine needles.
I love the cooler nights and the even cooler mornings.
I don’t like saying goodbye to summer because it’s one more summer gone… but I really do love autumn.
I love the gold aspen silhouetted against the evergreens.
I love listening to the elk bugling and strutting their stuff.
I love autumn, don’t you?

We are having a double blessing here. A double autumn. The weather kicked in an early one during August – then it stopped. Now the cooler weather has brought the real one. Flaming leaves in August was a shock, Now it’s more gentle, Yes, I love autumn, and I love this post too.

Hi Joni,
Thanks for writing. Autumn is a splendid affair in Colorado and in most places. It’s takes getting outside and getting into a state of appreciation.

Upstate NY is famous for it’s apples. Perhaps it’s all the rain and moisture they get that makes them so wonderful! NY apples are big and plentiful!

As much as I LOVE summer, I will admit, I like Autumn. The beautiful colors of our NY fall is something to be appreciated. I am thankful for the gift of sight, to see what God has given us. The beauty of 4 seasons. I will try to embrace each of these as they come and enjoy them to the fullest.
