Lavender Green Tea

I'm all bundled & layered up and sipping on some lavender green tea I purchased at an Asian market in Albany. The sweet, fragrant taste is really delightful. I am radiantly serene in this moment and not really caring about the work I should be doing for several of my classes. I am not ruffled by anything. With today's temperatures not expected to exceed the 60s, I have found myself wondering why this season makes me so happy. I cannot fully explain the extent of the feelings it rouses inside me. I am cozy and alive and I am satisfied.

Autumn Alive

so brilliant the breeze &
the cloth on my skin
so warm & protective.

pull a little closer as
the air chills
sniffling nose.
clear eyes embracing all that surrounds me.

Anticipating Autumn

Yesterday was the perfect day for enjoying the first pumpkin spice latte of the season. Mmm, so savory! Autumn is just around the corner and I couldn't be happier. My senses are patiently waiting to be overjoyed with the pleasures the season has to offer! A small scattering of fallen leaves, pumpkins, and chrysanthemums have been my sneak preview. Cool breezes and chilly nights are starting to make their appearances as the days of September crawl through the calendar.





The Full Harvest Moon will rise this coming Monday, September 15th. If it isn't silly to have a favorite full moon, then the Full Harvest Moon is my favorite! The Old Farmer's Almanac provides a nice description for each full moon in accordance to many Native American histories and traditions.
