Autumn (Fall)

For most of you in Mr. Mum's World, spring is springing, nearly sprung or downright spranged. The days are getting progressively longer and life in many ways is coming forth anew. But to your yin, I bear witness to the lower latitude yang. The fall nip is in the air on the heels of our first southerly cold front; a stiff breeze pushes children back into the classroom. The plants have begun their religious retreat into root and bulb, seed and stem. And I, Mr. Mum, am happy to be.
