From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar, When the dawn begins to crack.
It's all part of my autumn almanac.
Breeze blows leaves of a musty-coloured yellow,
So I sweep them in my sack.
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac
The Kinks, "Autumn Almanac,"
1967.Although the fall colors are a little sluggish so far in the Chicago area, they are starting to don their autumnal hues, such as these two sugar maples in Skokie's Harms Woods.
Meanwhile, Andrea Shea King was recently in North Carolina, which prompted the Massachussets native to write a moving essay to her favorite season.
