Change is on the wind

I opened the back door to go to my car & it hit me ! It was cooooool & dry & crisp !! Ahhhh yes, there's change coming and quite frankly I am, ohhh sooooo ready for it ! No more grabbing the scuba gear before going outside, no more multiple showers because the sweat oozes out of yo the minute you walk out the door.

I used to say that Spring was my favoritest season, but as I age I find that Autumn is slowly taking over as my first place-r. Now don't get me wrong, I still lovvvvvvvvve Spring when everything is new & fresh & busting out all over. But there's something to be said for things quietly withering away & preparing for that long sleep of winter (which BTW is my LEAST favorite season for a myriad of reasons !) that fall brings.

Autumn also beckons my taste buds for the richness of stews, soups, roasted veggies & Sunday dinners like Mom used to make. One of my most favored memories as a kid, is running around outside in the crisp fall air and coming inside hours later with rosy cheeks & sparkling eyes, and being greeted by the heavenly aroma of Mom's pot roast cooking ! MMM-MMM-MMM ! Lordy she made dammed good pot roast !!! Yeah, those were mos def the good old days.

Though I'm an adult now (well chronologically speaking), I still get excited after being outside on a crisp fall Sunday afternoon and coming inside to aromas reminiscent of those days and the anticipation of the repast that awaits me later to be shared with the love of my life and/or family & friends. Nothing in the world, at that time, is any better.

take care .... stay kool .... be content
