Slowly the mornings are getting crisper, an extra blanket is pulled out of storage and a light jacket feels just right. Cinnamon, cardamon and nutmeg are the warm flavors making a steady comeback like they do every year. What a great time for change, some don't welcome it because the harsh cold is right around the corner but for right now I can't help to not think of how perfect it is. We survived the humidity and now we sleep with the windows open.
Instead of cruising on auto-pilot through this change and bitching about the winter that hasn't come yet I encourage you to walk anywhere in Minnesota right now and see all the colors around you. It only lasts for just a little bit and right now it's in the beginning stage of digression. Half summer green and the other half natures colors marking an end. What a beautifully symbolic thing. I say welcome fall with open arms and it couldn't mark a better change for me and my upcoming journey. I can't wait to see Manhattan during this time even if it's at the tail-end of fall.
Fall I missed you, welcome back and please do stay as long as you want I welcome you. No better time then right now.
