The Wind Doth Smell of Bittersweet…

“The spirits of the air live in the smells
Of fruit; and Joy, with pinions light, roves round
The gardens, or sits singing in the trees.”
Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat,
Then rose, girded himself, and o’er the bleak
Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.

An Excerpt from “To Autumn” by William Blake

This morning was absolutely gorgeous! It was just slightly chilly with a rich, fresh smell which invigorated me right down to my toes. Oh how I long for fall! I know that I am a little early, but I am getting excited. The crunchy leaves underfoot. The smell of distant wood fires. The slight chill which is perfect for a light sweater/sweatshirt and a cup of warm cider. I can’t take it!
