On this the fifth day of my Gratitude Challenge I am grateful to live in the northeast section of these United States. Many are beginning to set into a fall-winter malaise due to plummeting temps and a lack of sunlight.
I relish wrapping up in wool, layering and cuddling by the fire. This you see is my favorite time of the year and I love it. Nature begins to slow down, unwind and get ready for her annual hibernation.
From Where I Stand
The air is crisp
The sun is bright
Burnt orange, gold and green
Are the colors surrounding me
Damp air and muted sounds
Abound as I cherish the last
of nature’s most beautiful season.
