Fall Fever

 Red, Brown, Yellow and Green: the colours of fall are upon us. Foggy mornings, misty afternoons, visible breath and arm warmers are the way of the day! Man, I love this time of year. The time when layers upon layers are pure comfort... when staying at home to watch movies and bake cookies feels like the escape and when warm drinks are forever drinkable!
 The torrential downpour of chestnuts corrupt the city and the smell of spice hits the air. I know summer is amazing, but autumn is just brilliant. The ability to see the fog of your breath and smell the dampness of the earth is just too cool.... remembering the days of being little and feeling super bad ass as you smoked your invisible cigar while pretending to be an actor of your own adult future! I still pretend I am smoking that imaginative cigar... it just goes down sooooo smooth, how could you not?!
 The puddles glimmer from the reflections from the cars racing home, the day turns to night quicker and quicker while an understanding that pumpkin is within our grasps over the next few months repeats like a mantra. Hibernation is in the air people! Time to celebrate the slow and restfulness of the season... build a fort, drink a latte, laze about in your pajama's... not everyone in the world experiences a full blown fall so take advantage of it, roll about in the murkiness of the maple leaves: get in touch with your dirty side!
