Here She Comes

Fall.

She’s right around the corner.

I woke up last Monday to a chill I almost didn’t know.

It’s been too long.

A crisp feeling.

That day the wind blew steady and strong.

I stayed outside.

I wore long sleeves to bed.

Tuesday my favorite fall beverage returned.

I know she’ll take her time.

She doesn’t settle in quickly.

But damn, I can’t wait till she’s really here.

Fall.

Here she comes.
