Fall is upon us. Next week, on Sept. 22, both day and night will be about 12 hours long, a result of the sun rising and setting exactly along the belt line of our little blue planet. Then, at 9:49 a.m. Tulsa time, autumn will officially arrive. And we'll all feel like taking to the streets with gourds and hay bales of tidings and joy.

What I know about fall: Gold winter wheat against a chalkboard sky. The defeat of the swampiness of August by the tall skies of September. The flakes of crust left in an emptied pie plate. Yarn. 

Ferris wheels. 

Corndogs.

Football. 

Overalls. Piles of leaves.

If it's not the most wonderful time of the year, then I'll eat my hat. (With a slice of sweet potato pie, but still.)
