I have always loved the fall...

I look forward to the cooler days;
the wonderful sweaters that I haven't worn for a while,
the quietness of our little community as the tourists head back to their own lives,
the geese flying overhead,
the vivid colors of nature.

I think that preparing for the solitude of winter appeals to me. The secret planning for the coming holiday celebrations. The darker evenings and family cuddling in close for safety and warmth. 

But really, out here by the wild Pacific coast, it is the anticipation of winter storms. The sea and the wind in all their glory; reminding me that we are really so very small.
For me, Autumn is a time of perspective and dancing in the wind...
