Falling into Fall....

Fall.

The 'f' word I've been resisting.

Usually I'm ready to pack up the oft frenzied pace of fun summer days and allow the cozy atmosphere of autumn to envelop me. Not so this year. Our summer was too long in coming and too short in duration.

So, I've found some images to help ease me into the delights of the fall season.

Daylight savings time so I can catch up on lost sleep,

Dahlias in bloom....

long walks through fall leaves....

homemade apple pie...

reading in my easy chair by a crackling fire,

warm sweaters to keep me warm,

the deep richness of fall hues,

and, last, upcoming fallidays.
