Autumn
raindrops pattering
cool crisp air in our faces
first rain of the year
That was my first attempt at a haiku. Sorry ’bout that. For those of you who live in green states, meaning states where it doesn’t turn brown and dry and brittle in the summer, where you get rain or snow all year round, you don’t know how refreshing it is to know that the green hills will be returning…it’s nice.
Last night was our first rain this season…we went out for a walk in the drizzle, and listened to it pattering down on our umbrellas. We had to towel off the dog when we got home. We slept under our cozy comforters for the first time in months, listening to the rain outside…so nice. So refreshing and lovely. I just love autumn. I love the changing leaves, the crisp mornings and warm (not hot) afternoons. The smell of fires in fireplaces. Halloween decorations. The promise of Thanksgiving, Christmas, winter and all of its particular pleasures. Sigh.
Very nice.

I love autumn too. It’s such a beautiful time of year. Over here it’s been raining on and off all week. After that hot summer, we need the rain.:)

You know I love Autumn. hahaha I love the smell of rain. Last night just smelled good. Minnie unfortunately, does not love autumn. Her little paws get cold. I’m gonna have to get her some little boots!

It was really nice. I love to step on the leaves and dry acorns to hear the crunchy sound they make . Geni, your doggie loves to eat those dried acorns. She is so cute, she sneeks them like we do cookies.

Fall is my favorite season. I feel like a clucking chicken cooking this and that, wearing warm jammies, snuggling under warm bedding. It even smells wonderful outside.
