Autumn is my favorite season but I refuse to embrace it until the time is right. I would never drink a pumpkin spice latte. If it were my cup of tea, I would never drink it in August. There is a whole set of music that I only perform during the fall. The nights are chilly. The mornings are crisp like a fall apple. The days are getting shorter. The calendar says that it is not time yet. We are so close, I can almost smell it.
