Fall always has me conflicted. What about you?
On one hand, I love the cool, refreshing nights...
On the other hand, I hate that the days are getting so much shorter - waking up in the dark, getting home in the dark...
On the other hand, there is a new sharp clarity to the colors that surround us...
On the other hand, the gardens are winding down, and getting ready for a long winter's nap...
On the other hand, Pats football games and homemade soups rule the households on Sunday...
On the other hand, there are no more River Fires or outdoor concerts until next summer...
On the other hand, it is so nice to snuggle down deep under the comforter every night...
On the other hand, one knows these things can only lead to the dreary days of winter.
Apparently this Putnamaniac has become an octopus for this blog and I now have run out of hands.
Tomorrow, go right out and take a deep breath. Smell the outdoors, the cooling earth, the falling leaves. It is really one of the best things about New England. Take a big sniff.....ahhhhhh....... you know that smell - those crispy leaves as they crunch under your feet. That is a great smell!
I am a Putnamaniac thanks to the great smell of falling leaves!
