Fall Evenings

Ahhh yes, the smell of the changing season. Summer bid it's last farewell and welcomed fall in to takes its place. Early mornings the sunrises are pink and gold. Crisp air awakens me as I walk my regular path to school. In the evenings, I saunter home again and await the sunset. It is the smells that give my heart joy. After the thundershower on Saturday, the world was so clean and droplets clung to the foliage. It hasn't changed colors yet, but that moment will come when it seems if by magic suddenly the leaves will take on a different hue. Oranges, yellows, browns, purples, all swirl together as the leaves take on a carpet of color. Smell those wet leaves, smoke coming from chimneys taking off the chill inside. Pretty soon those leaves will swirl down around my feet. Waiting for the crunch to come, I will enjoy the stillness in the air.
