With the chill in the air, and the yellow leaves everywhere, it certainly feels like fall today! When autumn begins, I love to remember this famous quote by David Henry Thoreau: Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
