It’s that time of year, at least north of the equator. The windows are still open, but the darned furnace comes on early in the morning. My husband went out for a walk after an early supper and came home in full darkness.

And yes, where we live, leaves are beginning to turn.

As this vivid season begins, tell us five favorite things about fall:

1) A fragrance

The smell of leaves on the ground. Not when I rake them (I’m allergic!) That papery, woody, smell of leaves.

2) A color

The color of the maple tree in my back yard. They are a lovely shade of SCARLET against a GREY sky…

3) An item of clothing
My “Wicked Good” slippers come out of hiding!

4) An activity
Watching football! Specifically, OHIO STATE football (what else?)

5) A special day
November 22nd. I’ll be in Ohio Stadium to watch OSU take down Michigan!

O – H!

as you were…
