Praise for Fall

You float in on a late September breeze with still-warm days and mild, cool nights in tow. It’s not your way to bring the first hard freeze before November when your cold winds blow. The trees, a color riot on display, God’s handiwork, are certain to enthrall. Then costumed kids receive a vast array of goodies on October’s curtain call. But there’s much more to you than this. You bring Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas sweet delights: the decorations, feasts, and choirs that sing cantatas, all the season’s festive sights. As host of widely-varied pleasantries, you prove each year your deep desire to please.
