It was extremely quiet on the Front Porch this morning. Not a creature was calling anywhere within earshot. Nothing was moving within the line of sight either, but I did notice the increased number of beautiful red leaves on the lawn. My nose couldn't detect any specific scent and refused to wake up until I fried a quesadilla for breakfast. Which, by the way, tasted YUMMY. And the feel of the 45° temp was almost enough to cause goosebumps, but not quite. Pretty much sums up the the five major senses and their wake-up call.
Getting darker and darker out there. It took a vacation for me to notice the shortening of the days.
Not enough light to pull out the true color in these leaves. They look like red gems laying on the grass and walkway.
I know Autumn doesn't officially begin until until September 22nd at 4:02 pm. (I looked it up.) But September 1st has always hailed the beginning of autumn in my mind. If the leaves are any indication, I'd say Fall has begun. But there is bound to be an Indian Summer, sometime in our near future.
May your Autumn be a delightful and pleasant one, Travelers.
