autumn falling

once again, it's turning into my favourite season. the leaves are oranging and decorating the grass and the pavement. it has become necessary to carry a sweater or scarf most places. i have cravings for roasted root vegetables and an itch to start something new, while also feeling like dropping out of my daily life for a while to hibernate in a cafe with a stack of books, a roaring fire, a home-knit afgan, and the smells of ginger and cinnamon lingering on the doorstep. i want to go apple-picking and make pies with my cousins, to enjoy an earthy glass of red wine and discuss new things with old friends, and to bask in sunlight and moonlight, as they fight for sky space at dusk.
