Autumn's Time of Splendor

🍁🍃🍂 It is "autumn’s time of splendor".  Paul Laurence Dunbar 🍁🍃🍂 This afternoon, some surrounding trees lining streets and highways shared their new blaze of autumn color. The highlight of this seasonal day occured in front of my home. Leaves in shades of amber, golden yellow, scarlet, and deep orange danced in front of my home in a mini leafnado fashion. From a meteorological perspective, a small amount of air began to rotate. It lifted and spinned the dry autumn leaves that moved in a chaotic, circular motion. Observing nature was breathtaking. Nature created  a scene of autumnal grandeur. While I added more Halloween decorations to my porch, I listened to the breeze floating by and the crunch of leaves underfoot. In the beauty of the warm afternoon, Autumn cast a magical spell, a quiet transition into the last weeks of fall. magic in the air floats throughout Autumn's season nature's calming gift 🍁🍃🍂 Poetry Friday Thank you to Jone Rush McCulloch for hosting Poetry Friday and inviting friends to create an ode to our favorite candy.  Reflect upon your thoughts and share your ode here.
