Earlier this year I read Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman and am currently about half way through The Complete Works of Robert Frost. A good year for reading poetry as it turns out. You can put it down and come back without the catch up required by a story or continuing theory. This could possibly explain why lately my favorite word is autumnal. Such a descriptive vocabulary word. And today I’ve lived up to it with pumpkin ice cream in the freezer. One large and six individual pumpkin pies. Yet, it is the second definition of the noun autumn that grabs my attention most this fall. Maturity as the verge of decline–hmmm… no wonder we avoid it so.
