Because autumn isn’t truly over until you’re ready to let it go. Drop your answer in the comments—meteorological, astronomical, or purely emotional.
Winter has its own beauty. But until the solstice arrives—whether you mark it on November 30 or December 21—go kick one more pile of leaves. Grab a last apple cider. Watch the sky turn gold at 5 PM.
There’s a moment every year when the last orange leaf lets go, the air loses its softness, and the world seems to exhale. You pull your coat a little tighter and wonder: Is autumn officially over?
