Fall

The leaves are goldening, sometimes released from the boughs with a cool gust from the North. Hot chocolate seems like the right thing to do, most of the time, and one Maple & Pecan slice isn't enough.
Pumpkins are fattening. Cider is sweet. The sea changes moods.
Autumn. It's upon us like a...like a... like a colder version of Summer? (Tom's words. Idiot.)
Ah man, I'm rubbish with similes today. Here, this better explains it...

"With the coming of autumn, the days grow shorter and the nights longer and the temperatures move from warm to cool. The colors of orange and red represent the changing, brilliant colors of autumn foilage. If summer is the period of youth in one's life, then autumn is the adult period. As Northrop Frye notes, autumn is associated with mortality and melancholy. A retreat is started from the wild wanderings in open natural space to inside, enclosed man-made spaces."
