Fall is an Event!

Good morning everyone,

Ryan is feeling poorly this morning so my post will probably be shorter than my usual short posts.

The fall has started today on our street. We call autumn Fall but really the fall is an event. Suddenly, the leaves start falling like large colorful snowflakes. You can hear them clicking on their way down to the ground.

In times past, including my grandmother, people would say things like, "We'll see you in the autumn, right before the fall." Meaning September. "We'll see you right around the fall" meant the first two to three weeks of October and "In the autumn, after the fall meant late October and November.

It's fun to imagine planning things around natural events. We still do to a degree but we rely so heavily on our calendars that we've forgotten the events and use the terms synonymously with the seasons.

At any rate, that's my soapbox today. Have a great one, it's GO JUS out there today!
Much love and joy,
Karen
