Next to spring, autumn is my favorite season. The air has a certain crispness, clouds add interest to an otherwise gray sky. Nature puts on her spectacular coat of many colors. I love the earthy smells from dying leaves and the wet ground. Fall is a dramatic season, a season of contrasts—quiet misty mornings and thundering rainstorms.

After summer, a season with so much light and exuberance, I find the moodiness that comes with autumnal weather offers a bit of respite. A time to reflect while I enjoy the harvest or cozy-up under a blanket and sip tea on a stormy day This is why I always fall for fall.

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting

and autumn a mosaic of them all.
