With the cooler morning temperatures I also go back to enjoying my morning cup of tea. And if it’s cold during the day maybe I’ll brew another cup. I rarely, if ever drink hot tea in the spring/summer unless I’m on vacation.

And again, now that it’s no longer 95+ in our bedroom during the day, I can go back to lying on the bed and reading (or napping) when the mood strikes during the day.

I love the cooler temps!!

Change of Seasons
Removing all my container plants who can’t winter-over from my tiny courtyard and finding spots for them in my house and studio.

I love the colors of fall, especially the flamey maples. Also, I tolerate the totally invasive sweetgums better this time of year because their leaves turn an awesome maroony purple.

The ritual around here is to go to the pumpkin patch at the church next to the youngest daughter’s daycare (with both extremely helpful daughters) and pick out one pumpkin for each family member and take them all home and leave them outside in a decorative grouping until either a) we carve them or b) we don’t. Either way is fine and they all end up in the compost regardless.

Also, there are no more mosquitos (glee!!!!)

I quite enjoyed this image of how Rickrolling would work if there was no Internet…

Generally I mark the season changing by switching from shorts to long pants. Happened pretty early this year. But I knew that winter is close when our daughter actually volunteered to put on a coat before heading out the door this morning.

I have a pumpkin-colored Autumn Spice candle that’s been sitting on my desk since the Fall Equinox. It smells of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. I’ve also been cherishing the sunny October days, when I’m dazzled by the red and orange leaves against the bright, so-blue sky.

@Pace Smith: October 31st marks the end of my year, too. Then, for me, the weeks leading up to the Winter Solstice are a time of rest, reflection, and taking stock. Even when required to hustle and bustle, I try to hold onto a quiet inner space. It’s a very special time for me, and I look forward to it every year.

But oh! They’ll be so beautiful in the spring! I keep telling the bulbs how beautiful they’ll be! And I may have kissed a few of them…

Autumn is lovely in theory, but in practice, at least here in Vancouver, its cold, wet and windy. There are only a few days in which one can get outside and enjoy the changing colours.

Wikipedia writes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nataraja) that Shiva does his dance to destroy the weary universe in preparation for creation. Perhaps Fall is the beginning of that dance, in preparation for the creation of Spring?

Hmmm, autumn… I love that I get to wear my handknit socks again, wear more layers, put the wool blanket I got from my grandmother on the bed, pick and eat fresh apples, walk in the dry leaves, admire the colors… Also, I equally love the indian summer and the first snow (we had no indian summer this year, but the first snow has happened last week – now, it’s back to regularly scheduled autumnal weather until winter comes). Really, there are so many things to love about autumn here!
