Autumn Falls - Blog Posts
I remember October when it was cold... I miss trick or treating in a nice costume, this isn't normal. I hope more people start to realize it shouldn't be like this...
Fall in the PNW

"September the golden threshold between summer and winter."
Meeta Ahluwalia
"In many ways, September feels like the busiest time of the year: The kids go back to school, work piles up after the summer's dog days, and Thanksgiving is suddenly upon us."
Brené Brown
"And then the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn awakened."
Raquel Franco
"October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!"
- Rainbow Rowell, Attachments
Dear October,
Please be good to us.
"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn."
Rowland E. Robinson
"As the alluring song of September begins to whisper in my ear, my passionate spirit yearns for the splendor of its promise."

Autumn Falls
I'm blowing warmth into my hands, As autumn falls like the leaves belonging to it The wind has regained its chipperness My booted feet begin to get clumsy People who say you should keep your head, Up; don’t know what they are talking about There are some bad roots you have to look down for Unless you want to get knocked down again The leaves changed fast this year Some are already brown, dry and ready to be decomposed Where’s your warm hand I thought I was holding? Where did I lose my big coat? Were you on the ship I purposely deserted and sank? Good! That’s what I wanted, At the time Now I'm lost with my flannel shirt and my snaky soul My cold nose and my mittens that no longer fit Well, decisions will get you someplace in the woods My best days are long behind and far ahead At least I can’t see my breath yet I have to find my clearing on my own That will be tough but I got myself here, I have to get myself back out Autumn you will not make me fall!
