Autumn is on my mind
You know when those golden leaves start doing their little dance in the crisp air? Well, that's when I start thinking, "Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird, I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
Well technically, those are not my words (by the way it's from a poem by George Eliot), but hey, the feeling are authentic! Autumn is like that gentle nudge, telling us the scorching summer days are over, and it's time for some cozy moments and nostalgia and scent of the earthy, sweet scent of fallen leaves piling up and the cool evenings when the air carries the delicious smoky scent of campfires and bonfires, and time for a treat from the bounty of the season – pumpkins and apples galore! I can practically smell the pumpkin pies baking and those warm pumpkin spice lattes with their teasing hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. And don't get me started on the freshly harvested crops like corn, wheat, and hay. It's like the whole world is celebrating the harvest season.
Colonial Candle® brought back their Signature Oval jars this season that not only look fabulous as a centerpiece but also fill your home with that warm, inviting autumn aura. They've got a nose for the best autumn fragrances, so trust me the candles will set the perfect mood without going overboard. Happy autumn, folks!
