Artwork by Bill Gekas (beautiful Bill!) When I was a little girl, I loved Autumn. I loved feeling the yellow, gold & burgandy leaves, crunch under my boots as I stomped along proudly in the woods, pretending I was a big, mean old giant or hungry, grumpy bear in search of food. Autumn was & still is my favorite season. As a child I remember the distinct crispness of the air, which gave me that tingling sensation everyone gets at the beginning of autumn. It made me feel excited & my imagination would run wild & conjure up all sorts of things! The wind would howl hoo hoo like an owl, almost as if it was whispering to me. I would start to believe it was talking to me in a chant. Because I had such a vivid imagination, I played easily alone, the trees were my friends, their branches, arms! directing me this way & that, or they became dwellings, housing interesting little creatures, all very friendly & inviting me for endless cups of coco & cookies. I still love Autumn & the sound of the crusty brown leaves crunching under my boots
