Cool, dry air that makes the sky perfectly blue
Waking to the calls of migrating geese
Chilly sunrise and sunset walks
Campfire warmth contrasting with cooling night air
Enjoying the heat of the kitchen oven
Fresh, local apples
The brilliant leaves that provide a different show each day
Potting the rosemary and geraniums to provide fragrance indoors
The return to the menu of warming foods – chili, soups, and curries
The abundance of the farmers market
A walk in the late afternoon sun
Reaching for another blanket
Collecting seeds from perennials
Enjoying a bike ride, knowing the bikes will soon be stowed
The sounds and smells of dry leaves
Harvest celebrations with friends
Holding a mug of hot tea on a cool morning on the porch, watching the steam rise
A favorite sweatshirt
Watching squirrels and chipmunks stash acorns
Feeding the garden with leaves from the yard, putting it to bed for the winter, contemplating indoor projects for the coming months.
The fullness of window boxes and perennial gardens
A sweatshirt in the morning
Intrigued by the potted rosemary!

I have not yet succeeded in having a rosemary plant survive the winter. It does not like the very dry heated air. But having it inside for even a couple of months is very enjoyable – instant aromatherapy.
