As stated by American poet William Cullen Bryant, “Autumn… the year’s last, loveliest smile.”
I’m sure some of you will want to debate my next statement, but if you live in New England, consider yourself lucky. I know long winters and unpredictable weather aren’t exactly fun,
but you have to admit – this time of year is special.
I always feel a higher level of appreciation for nature during the fall. I find myself leaf peeping and walking around with my nose in the air like a crazy lady! Inhaling and exhaling deeply as if these breaths are my last, engaging anyone I can to join me. It’s pure magic! Maple, elm, oak and beech trees are just bursting with color! Night skies are ablaze in Pantone colors of warm reds, yellows and oranges. And just when I think I have seen the most amazing sunset, Mother Nature delivers yet another.
This weekend I will be savoring every last moment of fall, for sure. Cuddling and cocktailing by a roaring outdoor fire pit, toasting marshmallows and celebrating a favorite friend’s 21 years of life. So go on and breathe in some fall this weekend – and don’t forget to look ahead from time
to time!
