Enjoying the warm, Fall weather

Here near the Niagara River, the weather has been very warm; warmer than it normally is this time of the year. They say that the Lake Erie is still close to 70 degrees!   I love Fall for all the colors of the leaves, the lower humidity and the chance again to cuddle up with someone you love under a blanket without having the air conditioning on. I prefer the natural coolness.   Many say that Fall can be depressing because many plants are dying. I look at it from a different angle. The plants are preparing themselves for a long rest, just like the animals that hibernate. They are regaining energy for another year to come. I think "death" is not the appropriate word, rest and tranquility are the key concepts.       "What will be will be...and what won't be often is" (Rachel Lynde from "Anne of Green Gables")
