I live in Houston, Texas and to say that autumn has arrived would be quite silly. It's still hot here, but we have had a nice cool front blow in. The next two days will give us a high of only the low 90's which is welcome relief. Last weekend it got to 106!
But it is September, and the cool morning today sparked that familiar happiness inside of me. Fall will be here in the next month or so.
I love the fall! Despite not having a very long one, autumn is hands down my favorite season. It brings relief from our long, hot summers and the promise of even cooler weather in the winter.
Plus, there's something about autumn and winter that brings about the domestic within me. I want to cook. I want to turn my house into a cozy home. The hearth becomes important (despite only having a stove and no fireplace). Spirituality blooms within me even though I am not religious.
Perhaps that's why I feel the need to get serious about simple living again. My true priorities emerge as the sun shines lower in the sky.
We shall see. For now I'm happy with the low 90's highs.
