Nostalgia for you all. Autumn...

Way back in my childhood, around 9 years old, there was a day in late September, no specific date, I was skipping (half walk, half run) down my driveway to see if other kids on my street were out throwing ball, or riding bikes, and the afternoon sun was had a certain brilliance and the air was sharp in my nostrils with the smell of sycamore leaves and pine.

And it was as if I could actually feel the earth ...tilt... ever so slightly and the air was suddenly cooler yet charged with a kind of electricity which hit me with the urge to run down the rest of my driveway and sprint up the street to play with whoever I could find and I welcomed Autumn.

Much Older now I am, but I awaited this day as always throughout my life wherever I was. Some years I 'caught" it...other years I missed it.

This year, I await that day. I want to catch it again.
