Oh how my heart yearns for Autumn!!
We have lived near the ocean for over 24 years and have enjoyed the gorgeous sea, but what I have missed the most was Autumn. The crispness of the air, the sight of falling leaves, the beautiful colors changing like a masterful painting coming to life, all said to me that this was the time to reflect and be thankful. We cannot wait until Autumn is part of our life again. Fall is like a cleansing of my soul. Oh how my heart yearns for Autumn!!

All those golden autumn days the sky was full of wings. Wings beating low over the blue water of Silver Lake, wings beating high in the blue air far above it . . . bearing them all away to the green fields in the South.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
- John Muir
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
