My Favorite Time of Year



October is here and the weather is changing
It's my favorite time of year.
A time to reflect, and be inspired 
as the holidays will soon be here.  

The trees are dressed to impress 
in colors, red, orange, gold, and green.
Leaves dancing as they fall and scatter
creating our Autumn scene.  

The days are shorter and things slow down.
The air begins to chill.
It warms my heart from the inside out
as I anticipate the season's thrill.  

I love to watch it rain outside
and even enjoy a blustery day.
We can finally wear warm socks and sweaters,  
Snuggling up to keep the cold at bay.  

Crackling fires, candy corn
days full of cozy and sweet
Hot coffee, cider, cocoa, chai
crunching leaves and many a treat.

My oven seems to come to life 
as does my domestic flair
I'm eager to bake and share my love
as pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon fill the air.  

Pie and cobbler, cookies, cake
recipes both old and new. 
Bread and soup, casseroles
a savory supper of chili or stew.  

The tastes and smells of comfort food,  
friends and family gathered around.
These simple joys reminding me
I am blessed and gifts of grace abound.
