The Smell of Fall

I love the smells of fall. The smell of pumpkin bread baking, chocolate chip cookies, and cakes. I love baking when the weather gets cooler.

Fall brings with it the prettiest colors. My favorite colors decorate the trees: orange, red, brown, yellow, and even some lingering greens all grace the trees around the area.

The leaves shimmy and rustle in the wind, there’s a chill to the air that wasn’t there not long ago. The air smells different, cooler days are coming.

This morning I went outside while it was still dark. The air was crisp and the sky was clear. The stars twinkled brightly in the darkness above. There’s something so comforting about watching the sun come up. The day has started again and with it comes the promise of new opportunities, another chance to change or make a difference.

I love the smells of fall the most, both inside and outside. There’s something in the air that is different.
