I long for the majesties of autumn-- the mildly chilly breeze, pleasant walks, the mums of varied colors, the changing leaves . . . I look forward to seeing the riot of colors in the leaves; but where I live, the sun burns hot in early autumn. I anticipate wearing flannel during October walks. Though I am no longer able to take long walks, during short ones, I’m still in awe of the changing leaves. My favorite time, weather-wise, is near-mid-autumn. Autumn-lovers on walks gaze at red, yellow, and purple leaves.
