While fall hasn’t quite yet flushed the trees with full
color here at Stevenson Ridge, it has certainly settled into the decor around
here.
Fall is the time of year when the colors turn from summery
pinks and turquoises and lavenders to auburn, sienna, orange, and maroon.
Summertime scarlet turns to autumn crimson. Summertime yellow deepens to autumn
gold.
Carnations give way to mums. Orange pumpkins roll into place
next to bales of straw and bundles of cornstalks. Lace gets replaced by burlap
(which has remained a surprisingly popular decor choice).
The trees remain mostly green, but a few yellow leaves have
fluttered down to the pond and skiffed across its surface. It won’t be long
before color breaks out in full riot.
Nights haven’t cooled enough yet for frost, but the pumpkins
are waiting for that first frosty glaze. I'm not sure that I am, though!
