Enough With the Pumpkins

Late autumn always feels folksy to me, if not downright pagan. Halloween has something to do with it, sure, but it goes deeper than that: it’s all dead leaves, fast-darkening skies, surges of wind and lashings of rain. The season sounds like Sandy Denny singing spooky old ballads about changelings, betrayal and revenge. It smells like damp firewood slowly drying. (No wonder I want to stay under the blankets reading Frost and Yeats.) And late fall definitely tastes like apples. Moar
