The Autumn Episode

Outside-the-Box Kids

1 Oct

Bring on the sweaters and boots and pumpkin spice lattes! Autumn is in full swing by now with falling leaves, crisp mornings, and night creeping in earlier and earlier. 

I like to take time to reflect as fall begins in earnest; what changes do we need to make in routines and atmosphere to get ready for a new season? Which traditions are we looking forward to the most and are there any we want to let go of? And how can I bottle everything that makes fall the loveliest time of the year?

The fragrance of spices, the glow of a candle, goldenrod swaying in a breeze that is still warm but warning of a coming chill.

It’s the poem, “Something Told the Wild Geese” and the actual geese flying overhead in the morning.

It’s the copper and crimson and buttery yellow leaves as the trees beginning to change, the sound of folksy coffee shop music as the sun sets earlier and earlier.

It’s stacks of familiar books mingling with new reads brought by the school year.

It’s being ready to say good-bye to one season and welcome another with a full heart.

  • What autumn looks like for us
  • Rhythms we keep
