Fall: The World's Final Blazing Flame Before Winters Cold Sleep

The sharp bright colors of summer are softening and taking on a softer hue.  Leaves that have graciously offered shade from the blazing fever of summer are now set ablaze, turning golden hues of crimson, amber, and auburn.  They are gracefully floating to the ground in a whirling cascade that carpets the earth’s floor.  All the cheerful flowers that sprung from the ground to dance in the bright glow of the summer sun are now fading, fleeing from the chill that now threatens their soft, delicate petals.  The wind has evolved into a lonely, howling giant, which causes the crisp leaves to fall with an even greater torrent.  Sweet smells of maple mingle with the spicy smell of cinnamon and nutmeg, along with the smoky perfume that wafts up from the warm crackling fire.  The abundant harvest of the green, fertile garden of summer is now yielding itself to be stored for winter.  Apples bubbling into a spicy, sweet sauce and pumpkins along with sweet potatoes are being baked into a savory sweet velvet.  Fall is the world’s blazing flame, a final glorious show, before winters cold sleep.
