(**6 days until my vlog is up on here**)
We’re all sick to hell of summer, huh? It seems to last longer each year.
Let me drop you directly into the center of autumn and see if I can give you a little getaway, something to look forward to:
The sickening sweet smell of brown overripe apples on the moist earth
rotting leaves
Fresh-born earthy mushrooms
roasting pumpkin seeds
cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
chili
cornbread
hot cocoa
simmering exotic tea with honey and cream
scented candles
potpourri
candy corn
rain-soaked fallen leaves
damp sweaters
yams
hot dripping pies
pumpkin
distant wood smoke.
pale gold
lime green
nutmeg brown
pumpkin orange
terra cotta
mushroom gray
scarlet red
moss green
forest green
bittersweet chocolate
apricot
persimmon
pomegranate
pear green
sage
brick red
deep periwinkle.
Cold noses
hot baths
icy fingers
brisk chilly wet winds
woolen sweaters
thick socks
corduroy
fleece
comforters
flannel
leather
bonfires
flickering heat from the fireplace hearth
making love under a soft warm blanket
sleeping with the blanket over your head
the sun comes up later and later….
