Autumn

by Author Diana McCollum 

There is no time like autumn. Colorful leaves dressing up the trees, pumpkins on front porches and decorations for Halloween gracing the front of homes in anticipation of trick or treaters.

I always decorate my porch. We live far from other homes so we're lucky if we get 4-6 trick or treaters. But that doesn't matter, I still love to decorate and it brings a smile to my face when I walk up to our front porch.

Sunrises seem to be more spectacular than other times of the year
We get more visits here from our neighbors, the turkeys.



Fuit on trees can still be found.



I can't forget the flowers of fall, one of my favorites is mums.


I hope you all enjoy autumn as we slide past Halloween and Thanksgiving and into winter.

What is your favorite thing about autumn?

Thanks Diana, I found myself relaxing as I read your words and took in the beauty of your photographs.

My favorite thing about autumn is the cooling temperatures. I'm very heat sensitive so I feel close to being imprisoned in the summer. Autumn means I can get out whenever I want and not have to worry.

Nice! While I enjoy the crisp fall air, reading in a cozy room feels more special this time of year.

Thanks Judith and Lynn for stopping by. I like the cooler temps. I love wearing sweaters again and also, sitting in our all season room and reading, cozy like you Lynn!
