Bunches of Scrunches

For Sophie's 1st birthday, Andy gave her a book called "Autumn Walk" by Ann Burg. It quickly became one of my favorites. It always makes me think of days like today...and days like this are the reason why I feel fall is the best season of the year.

Here's an excerpt from my favorite part of the book, and it perfectly describes our afternoon:

Whirling and twirling, the leaves are calling. "Come play with us, come play!" Laughing like clowns, spinning around - autumn is here, let's play! Fistful of red, armsful of gold - throw them up high and jump! Bunches of scrunches and crunches of color land in a crinkly lump!

...Crackle, rustle, crinkle, and crunch through the cozy, darkening day. Crackle, rustle, crinkle, and crunch. Autumn is here! HOORAY!

Outstanding onomatoppeia and the pictures aren't too shabby either. This is no doubt the finest season of the year.
