Autumn in the air

Today is the first time this year that really feels like autumn to me. It is the combination of cooler air in the morning, overcast skies, and a few leaves floating downward with every breeze. This makes me happy deep inside. Autumn is always my favorite season - fall festivals, holidays, the autumn color palate, the fashions of cooler weather, temperatures within the comfort zone for most people. All of this traditionally in preparation for the winter hibernation.
