Monday Musings: New Season, New Thoughts

I’m starting this week feeling giddy about the upcoming first day of fall and the new season upon us. As we settle into this mood, enjoy these charming, autumn sentiments:

“Never jump in a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.”

— Linus, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

“Go, sit upon the lofty hill, And turn your eyes around, Where waving woods and waters wild Do hymn an autumn sound. The summer sun is faint on them— The summer flowers depart— Sit still— as all transform’d to stone, Except your musing heart.”

— Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”

— Sarah Addison Allen

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

— F. Scott Fitzgerald

"There is a time in the last few days of summer when the ripeness of autumn fills the air, and time is quiet and mellow.”

— Rodolfo Anaya

Now it’s time to grab a warm drink, snuggle under a warm blanket and crack open a good book! Welcome, Fall!
