Fall & Fires

I love fall. I like the crispness of the morning. The heat of the afternoon. Beauty all around me. But, I think I like most of all the rain and fires fall brings. I love the crackling of logs burning. The hot licking flames as the fire rages and then warm glowing embers as the fire subsides. I cozied up to a fire this afternoon and watched - then listened to it burn. This while the rain pounded down upon the skylight. Fall is here - and I love it!

I agree! Although since we don't have a fireplace, I have to enjoy the smell of fires from our neighbors!

This is the reason autumn is my favorite time of year.
