The explosion of color on the trees, the crunch of leaves under knee high boots, warm to-go coffee/tea cups clutched in hand.  The air is brisk.  Thick books beckon.  New beginnings and anticipation swirls in the air.  Autumn is the time to shake things up.  Its also the time to snuggle down and get cozy.  Afternoon movie marathons or cuddling into bed with a gripping read are both especially enticing as the temperature is dialed down a notch.  Cafes are an especially inviting locale to wile away the late afternoon.  Baking and cooking are even more satisfying weekend ventures (though the the items on the menu change, from salads and lighter fare to all things cheesy, breaded, chocolatey and DELICIOUS).  In short, autumn is the 𝖻𝖾𝗌𝗍
