The cool morning air with hints of crispy leaves and aging earth refreshes my mind.
It strengthens my passion for all things Spartan and pumpkins.
There’s the excitement of starting school anew, with missed friends and summer stories to tell.
The relaxed vacation rolls gently into schedules, sports, and early bedtimes.
We cheer for teams
and walk the trails.
We enjoy bon fires
and football games.
Our backdrops visibly change from sunshine to soft clouds
and rainbows to foggy mornings.
The greens become reds and oranges and yellows.
It smells like fall. It looks like fall. It feels like fall.
It is our gift to enjoy
and be amazed by it.
It is fall in Michigan;
Let us enjoy it with good friends,
good times and
great memories.
Sincerely,
Ariniko
