So readers,
It's that time of year again - autumn. The trees are starting to don their most brilliant colors, preparing their last brilliant display before their souls are bared during the winter. I saw the first red leaf on an all green tree today and I felt a special sense of wonderful at knowing that I am very likely the first person to notice it amidst the hustle and bustle of life, and to acknowledge how beautiful it was.
October 2nd. Could there be a day more wonderful than today? No doubt you'd say I'm wearing rose colored glasses. But in truth, all the summer roses have already died - and there have been some really dreary days. Just yesterday there was a silence in the air that not even the wildlife broke. It's one of those things where you know something is amiss, but you can't quite put your finger on it until someone else does. My mother was the one who said something about it feeling like a Sunday, and that it was strange that a Wednesday was so calm at 2pm in the afternoon.
Still, it would take more than a few chills and strangely quiet day to shake my internal happiness at this time of year. I am anticipating the crinkle of leaves and twigs being crushed underfoot, the soft "shush" and "whooooorl" noises of gathered piles of crispy red orange leaves when the wind blows.
This is the best fashion season in my opinion as well. Living in New York affords me the opportunity to see in mid summer what the styles will be for fall, but I truly love the layered look women have at this time of year. I love those long duster scarves and knee high boots with skirts. And all the warm tones that people start to wear at this time of year - everyone looks good in golds and browns.
Earth toned ecstatic,
Davi
