A Lovely Fall Beginning

Cool crisp air blows wildly 

The cool air causing shivers to run down those who are brave enough to venture out into the cold

From afar the crunching of freshly fallen leaves can be heard 

Some purposely being jumped on just to hear the raspy sound ring out 

The laughter of young and older children can be heard,  while tears of joy run out their eyes from how hard they laugh while jumping into piles of colorful leaves 

Even though the beautiful red, orange and yellow leaves had just been raked together into a large pile

Parents watched in amusement, almost tempted enough to join their young ones in their play 

Orange, yellow and white pumpkins with a multitude of carvings are neatly arranged on creaky wooden stairs 

Some are positioned by the smallest on the lowest step slowly making their way up to the tallest on the top of the staircase 

Then others were just laid out neatly but randomly none-the-less As for how the pumpkins looked was a whole multitude of different designs 

Some designs showed simplicity while others could clearly show the amount of effort put into the delicate composition of the art carved into the pumpkin

Many have scary faces carved in,  but some have cats, and others bats and other alternative Halloween themed carvings  

Ah, yes with all these stunning features that are in such an explicit manner 

It is clear that the lovely and beautiful fall season has finally arrived 

And all the extravagant beauty of fall is shown everywhere to be admired by
