Even though winter technically starts late December and Christmas is not supposed to be celebrated a day before Black Friday, Fall is long gone. Tomorrow is December 1st and I just can’t think it’s fall anymore.
So while I share some photos of Roman, Milo, and their cousins, I also want to say goodbye to fall.
Goodbye crisp leaves, goodbye beautiful color, goodbye pumpkin farms, straw bales, apple cider, bonfires, nights that don’t end at 5pm.
I’m fighting against winter’s arrival like these kids fought against getting their pictures taken. 🙂 
Yes, winter brings many wonderful things: Â Christmas, beautiful snow, Christmas cookies, tradition, family get togethers, cuddling around the fireplace…
But I don’t want to hear that.
While I might be the only one crying about it…
You have to admit you’ll miss some great things about this harvest season:
But if not, excuse me while I have a moment.
A moment of days that last a little longer. Of pumpkin spice lattes. Being able to walk outside to get the mail without bundling up. Give me one more moment of leaf tosses, green grasses, hues of orange, red, purple.
I never knew how much I cared for you, dear Autumn. But now that you’re fading away I’m beginning to see how brief your visit has been.
See ya next year.
What great pictures of my little peanuts! I especially love the one where they’re all huddled together (even though my little Milo is sad-he’s still there), and the way they’re touching one another; and the one with them all sitting in the leaves with their natural sweet smiles. And even the one with them walking away, and I can’t even see their beautiful faces, but they’re holding on to one another. These made me smile! Thank you once again.
