Truly Fall

It's truly Fall now, and I am just so happy to be part of it. The air turned chilly and the nights cold two days ago; the sky is cloudy and the gusty, prevalent wind has blown many leaves, small twigs and dead branches off the trees. I developed the urge to make bread (it's delicious, btw), and we are contemplating house projects that we can do from inside the house. We made a fire in the firepit to burn old branches and entice the girls to play outside a while longer. The changing weather feels like the best kind of magic: inevitable, gradual, the bridge that links us all to the rest of the world.
