Fall is my favorite time of year.

to smell the crispness of the cool air,

hear the rustling of the crunchy leaves

as i walk through them, and watch the leaves

on the trees turn all shades of autumn.

In the distance there is the laughter of children,

the smell of bonfires, and roasted meats.

makes me want to go camping

and have a bonfire of my own....

where we can sit around after dark,

roast hot dogs and marshmallows,

and feel the heat of the fire

as we reminisce of other comfy times.

Have a little table set up

to play cards on by firelight ...

have a few drinks,

relax and let the night embrace us all,

as the stars and moon watch over us.

being with those i love, in this kind of setting,

makes me feel all fuzzy and warm

at just the thought of it.
