October! The time of year when the squirrels are going, "All right, men! This is the moment we've been waiting for!" --and then they start punching themselves in the nuts in preparation for winter.
For me, fall doesn't really begin until it's October. September is when we in northern Virginia get hints that the battle between Coolness and Warmth will eventually turn against Warmth-- but not quite yet. October, though, is when the tide begins to turn in earnest, and by the beginning of November we know that There's No Turning Back. October, then, is the true bridge to autumn. Or, to my mind, the Bridge to Awesome. Fall is my favorite time of year.

ReplyDeleteBTW, I've corrected my prepositions to accord with yours: "Bridge to autumn/Awesome," no longer "into."
