the feeling of autumn

Today I was confronted with the Ontarian autumn, with it's abundance of rouge-toned leaves covering the ground and the bright sun paired with a sudden chill in the air. My family had an autumn day. Martin decorated the front yard with spiderwebs, pumpkins, and signs spelling *Danger* to celebrate Halloween. Leaves were raked and stuffed into pumpkin colored garbage bags (with very large foreheads I must add!). Stepping out into the yard and picking up a chosen set of particularly pretty multi-coloured maple leaves, I realized that fall is finally here.
