Autumn is my favorite season, too. (Do you suppose we should do a birth chart on Mudcatters to see if there is an astrological impetus? Just kiddin'.)

I'm in possession of a wonderful tape by Kathy Martin Fanning, called Changin' of the Seasons. In the autumn verse it says:

And when you rest in Autumn's radiance
Like the last few lingering leaves
You hear a distant, whispering voice
Carried softly on the breeze
You turn your ear away
You hold on tight and yet you know
Like the last leaf on the Autumn branch
Comes a time you must let go.
