The Season of Silence and Slumber Has Arrived

Stepping out into the cool kiss of a burnt orange fall morning, I pause to admire, the dressings of the day... Light frost, on the fading green blades of grass, sparkles in the early sun like tiny diamonds... It's beauty matched by the blue clarity of the blanket above... My breath leaves me... The warmth hits the frosty air, and moves away from me like a slow trickling stream... Gone now is the heavy air of summer... The season of silence and slumber has arrived....TAH

I might add, it would be so nice to hibernate and wake up shen spring comes. Winter's not bad, it just lasts too long.
