Welcome Autumn

Published by

September 22, 2025

Autumn officially arrives today at 2:19pm Eastern Standard Time, here in North America. Seems like we were just welcoming summer. And, now? Holiday countdowns are popping up on social media, reminding us that Christmas is in 93 days.

As always, retail wants us rushing to the next thing, but I’m going to enjoy this beautiful time of year.

Though leaves die and fall, autumn feels like a beginning for many. Fresh notebooks, new routines…vibrant landscapes that inspire reflection and intentional living.

Wishing you a season of letting go like the leaves… hanging onto what’s good for you and yours…releasing what isn’t.

Fall, Leaves, Fall by Emily Brontë

Fall, Leaves, Fall

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;

Lengthen night and shorten day;

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

🍁Thank you for reading and have a wonderful Monday ahead🍁

I know and love a couple of Emily Brontë’s poems, but I’ve missed this one. Now it’s tucked in my ‘this will come in handy someday’ file — thanks for sharing it, and happy Autumn!

It’s still 94 to 96 here in North Texas and the weather guy says the weather won’t change until the end of October. Global Warming will someday will change the weather to stay the same year round and it will be hot. I’m doing what I can.

  I hear you about the Texas weather extending into the fall months. My Texas daughter still misses seasonal changes and cooler weather.
  In February of this year, another Texas blogger posted that she wanted to sip hot cocoa and enjoy “winter”, but it was 90° (in February!) and she needed the air conditioning🙃!

      Yes, it’s hard to feel the coziness of the season when everyone is still wearing tank tops instead of soft sweaters!

I do feel sad that summer is over because it went by so quickly. But autumn is a welcome change!

  We were waiting until the end of June for decent weather here in New York, so I agree that summer went very quickly! The beautiful foliage helps ease the pain of losing summer…🍁

This year has gone by so fast. Blink once and spring is gone, 🌸 blink twice and here comes fall 🍂🍃. I’m not blinking again, 😅❄️ or old man winter will show up…

Grateful for this season and all its beauty. 🍂🙏🍎🎃

Summer isn’t collapsing yet for us. Today will climb to 100 degrees. But I appreciate your lovely post and can’t wait for the wardrobe change. 🍁🧡
