As summer waves its fond farewell, as we are teased by this cool, overcast, fresh day, the promise of autumn dances in the air. It beckons with it's lure of crisp-scented breezes and snuggly sweaters. Of holidays and warm socks. The disappearance of mosquitoes is a delight to anticipate with relish. No more sweltering, searing heat, the bright sun obnoxious in its vanity. The autumn sun is gentler and humbler, ready to share the freshened sky with a few clouds now and then. The prospect of adventure is not a false front, dirtied with beer cans and morons. Fall adventure is real, the adventure of living! Of breathing in the new air and feeling invigorated by the unmistakable fragrance of the leaves and distant fires. No lies are harbored here! Autumn delivers what it promises, and does not taunt or insult those who do not fall in love with it. It merely kisses them on the rosy cheeks as they walk by, smiling with the assurance that it blesses them nonetheless.
Tomorrow may feel like summer again. The relentless sun may return with it's gaudy brightness, the unforgiving heat like a giant oven to melt and sicken those who dwell within.
But today is wonderful.
