I love Fall

 Remember the waning days of summers past.  The stockpile of new and forbidden "school clothes" in the closet.  Then the end of the tedium of summer, no more getting harassed to go outside and play.  The welcome embrace of structure and routine.  And then fall colours, unexpected frost, or the hint of a snowflake followed by a day of summer-like warmth.

 Fall fairs, the smash up derbies, the Rural social calendar reaching its apex.  Pumpkin patches drawing the families from the city for tractor rides, hay bales, and some small reconnection with our childhood.  Hot apple cider, warming rosey cheeks.  Dads wearing layers of plaid shirts.
