October 17

crisp fresh air
last few flowers blooming
morning frost
baby blinking at the cold
sun warming the afternoons
leaves rustling in the wind
swaths of colour
scarlet gold bronze crimson
geese flying overhead
warming hands on your coffee
swirling port or red wine
betting on first snows
buying pumpkins
costume modelling
raking leaves
hot chocolate and marshmallows
the smell of roast turkey filling the house
dark mornings
snuggling under extra blankets
sneaking Baileys into coffee
first fluffy snowflakes twirling
lazy pajama Sundays
fuzzy slippers shuffling
catching snowflakes on your tongue
making giant pots of soup
disappearing candy
babies like starfish in puffy snowsuits
bidding farewall to fall
