A male perspective ...The beginning of the end.

In an uncertain world, I look forward to the certainty of the changing seasons.  Fall is my favorite time of year.  It is the welcome reprieve from a long, hot and especially destructive fire-plagued summer.  The glorious colors of the fading season, the cool nights and warm days, the delayed gratification of the harvest that comes from months of watchful waiting in our gardens.  And, yes, the return of FOOTBALL!  ( I'm afraid that my 49 Er's are in for a tough year)  So as the fall is the beginning of the end, as we prepare for the darkness of winter, we look forward to the expectation of life and the new beginning.
