Jumping Into Autumn

Our days are filled with hints of sunshine and cool, crisp winds that gently dance through the autumn trees. Late at night, when the window is cracked just enough to let the outside world into our bedroom, I can hear the wind talking to the dark evening skies. I can hear a faint rustle of leaves falling slowly to the ground and an occasional animal pitter-patter across the back patio. Autumn is in the air.

October in Ohio is one of the finest around. When the sun makes her appearance and glistens over the multi-colored trees bright hues of gold, orange, deep reds and bold yellows illuminate the horizon. We look forward to these days all year long and when they finally arrive we never want to let go. We stay outside as long as we can; soaking in the morning sun and running hard until bedtime. And on special nights, we light a fire with friends and gather round the soft glow to keep warm and make s'smores.

We're quickly jumping into autumn, but I always wish it could last just a little bit longer. Right now the sun is shining, the leaves are almost in their prime and the park is calling our name. We're adventure bound!
