We live...
Posted on: 2nd October, 2009
I love the briskness of this cooler Fall weather and I enjoy greatly my complete immersion in the airs of this season. My skin comes alive as a primary sense, well above taste and hearing and almost equal to sight. We sleep with the windows open and the mornings are bracing.
