To My Favorite Autumn Shirts

I didn’t know it would come to this. While I lovingly ironed and hung you on my limited-edition* tangerine hangers, I imagined all the wonderful days we would share together this autumn. You three are as much a part of my favorite season as roasting pumpkins and glowing candles; you embody the crisp, gold-tinted days that make me most glad to be alive. I just want you to understand that I had nothing to do with this October going rogue, summer to winter in one blustery afternoon. I even filed a complaint, but Management never got back to me. It looks like the cold is here to stay. So hang tight, my darlings. Get some beauty sleep and hold the faith; I’ll see you next fall.


*Not really limited-edition, except when the nearest Wal-Mart is 4,000 miles away.

  1. That is exactly what happened here. Except, it was the end of September. So far it has snowed on at least three separate occasions. My kids made SNOWMEN. This weekend, however, it was almost 60 degrees (F)! I almost broke out the sunscreen! I hope you still get a chance to wear your beautiful fall wardrobe….you never know, stranger things have happened.

  2. On the plus side, by not putting any wear and tear on your shirts this year, you have extended their useful life.

  3. bethany-you are too cute!
