there you are.

i have been waiting for fall.

its as if i expected it to come as a royal's sweeping cape into the backyard, transforming once lush green leaves to squash yellow and apple red.
but it wasnt until yesterday that i realized fall had truly arrived. cold air penetrated through my sweater. and where warm humidity had once enveloped, my ghostly breath now hung in the air.

and almost overnight, you need an extra blanket on your bed.
